Aircraft piston engine makers like Lycoming and TCM have never provided any actual evidence that unleaded avgas increases engine wear. Their assertions that leaded gas provides lubrication are anecdotal and borderline superstitious. TCM pretty much admits this in its literature:

"Field experience has determined the use of unleaded automotive gasoline to be the cause of premature cylinder replacement due primarily to rapid and severe valve seat recession." [1]

They don't ever present evidence from controlled testing that backs up their "field experience". And controlled testing of automotive engines has shown that leaded fuels don't provide any significant protection. [2]

Twenty years ago, aviation writer John Deakin issued a challenge for anyone to provide good evidence that leaded avgas prevents engine wear [3]. As far as I know that challenge was never met .

It tolerates partitions just fine; I've been through many netsplits where folks just kept talking on our side of the split until the network healed.

Partition tolerance doesn't mean partitions don't affect the system, or that they can't happen. It just means the system has to choose whether to become unavailable or inconsistent (since it can't have both in the presence of a partition). IRC chooses to remain available, at the cost of losing messages for people on the wrong side of the split.
If you are NOT already doing the same arts prior and now, you are probably setting yourself up for failure. Arts just like STEM aren't something you "just switch to" without prior and established talent.

Beyond that, it's more about your tenaciousness and commitment if you have the skills and desire. Just like anything else!!
Yes, Arduino is the library that defines these macros: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr/blob/8f8df161ebf3...
I'd recommend APL2 and the GNU APL implementation instead. The reasoning is you can follow through the excellent Ken Iverson Turing Award paper [0], and, while using non-ascii is a small upfront cost, it IMO makes array languages much more readable.

> classpath lists folders with jars

No, the classpath lists folders of classes, or actual paths to jars. Not paths to folders of jars.

> 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

Classes are resolved from the root of the jar. Just inspect the jar to see what's in it. It's not common for third-party libraries to have conflicting package names.

I don't know why you're talking about tree searches.
> Maybe an overwrought comparison

Yes, I assert that comparing social media to a deadly substance is overwrought, hyperbolic, and not lucid enough to be helpful.

Lead causes brain damage and kills people.

What we call social media is an advertising business offering free channels of shallow discourse as incentive. The business has delivered.

Consider social media to be a test of the education system and of democracy in general. If society has failed the test, the test has been useful indeed.
I understand why dynamic typing might be needed for code reloading and multiple nodes. However for an overwhelming number of uses a single erlang node is sufficient and code reloading itself comes with additional complexity that it is only useful for rare applications. On the other hand hand static types give you cheap and easy freedom from a large class of bugs. Erlang spends a lot of time bringing reliability through sophisticated patterns such a supervision trees etc etc but then totally fails by having dynamic typing. I love Elixir/Erlang but I would say that here (provocatively perhaps) the platform is penny wise and pound foolish: It spends a lot of time on sophisticated strategies while omitting the most elementary one: static types. I like the platform but like every platform it does have weaknesses. To me, personally, missing static types is a weakness.
I truly do not understand what distinction you are trying to make and your interoperation seems to be way less charitable than I gave.

Your problem is, as I understand it, is you understand that they can be wrong, but they didn't use your preferred language? Are you asking the USG to personally message to 300MM Americans?

Do you get mad at your doctor for being wrong sometimes for the same reason?
I remember my first trips to Europe. I was from a suburban (although not connected to an urban center) town in the Midwest USA. After a few days in the city my eyes were red and itchy. Took me a bit to figure out it wasn't allergies to something new... it was just the vehicle exhaust.

The smell of diesel exhaust still makes me think of London, Paris... etc. Somehow that imprinted on me. They're actually good memories, but just an unusual spell to associate them with.
God bless everyone putting effort into making Adwaita a little prettier, but GNOME 40 has been a trainwreck in my eyes. There are still glaring issues everywhere, and instead of the "sacred cow" slaughtering we were promised, we get more iteration on things people don't care about.

Here's an idea: anyone, literally anyone spend a few hours updating the GNOME thumbnail generation code. It's the sole reason why file managers and photo browsers don't feel 'snappy' on the desktop. Or maybe the new Chromebook-ified topbar could revert to it's 3.38 glory, instead of being stuck with meaningless bubbles. There are so many regressions, sidegrades and completely ignored issues that I had to switch to Cinnamon when GNOME 40 rolled out.

I'm hoping that most of these issues can be addressed in the coming months, but I don't have much faith. Everyone is seemingly more interested in making a 1.5gb Flatpak out of their 500kb shellutil.
I think a major reason the FDA is dragging their heels is because children under 12 are not at serious risk from COVID in the first place, so the risk vs reward calculous is very different.

Which is subsequently why I'm not particularly worried. Yes, the stories of the children who are in the hospital are heartbreaking, but they're the outliers.

Edit: Actually, I just realized something... now that the Pfizer vaccine is fully FDA approved, parents should be able to find a pediatrician who will administer the vaccine off-label, if they want their kids to have it badly enough...
Sick time should be separate from vacation time for that reason. Otherwise, people have an incentive to come into work while sick so that they can use their paid time off for holidays and vacation when they aren’t ill.

On the other hand, I guess there are some people who when given a separate bank of sick time feel it’s ok to use it as a 2nd pool of PTO. My workplace gives a separate set of sick time though and it’s always seemed a better way of handling things to me.
Another copycat change to get the same crappy non-ergonomics in unrecognizable controls as the others. Can we please fast-forward all the UI circus to arrive at something usable again? Pretty please?
There is another catch. Sun's surface is about 6000K. A light with such color temperature would be considered bluish by most people if they looked directly at a lamp with such a spectrum. Rayleigh scattering lowers it to 5600-5800K at noon time, but still most humans would call a moderately bright lamp of this color "bluish".

The eye has a built-in white balance correction, and it moves the white point towards longer waves as the brightness lowers. This is why a single 5600K lamp in a room makes bluish light, while 10 of the same lamps make it lit by bright white. Same, a single 2500K lamp in a room makes a calming sort-of-white light. but 10 such lamps make a unmistakably yellow light.

The sunlight outside at a cloudless summer noon is very bright (one usually even wants to wear sunglasses), so the sun looks white or yellowish, especially in contrast to the blue sky.
How would you translate french "bœuf" to american english? Well, we have, "beef". But someone would also just use boeuf which might have a closer recemblance with the pronounciation of the original word. So whats most important, to have an as direct as possible spelling to how it is pronounced or just make an own version of it.

We have the same with a lot of names in the west as well, Jacob, Jakob, Yakob, Yakov, Jakub, Jakup etc.
Plus getting enough chargers, and upgrading old homes & grids to support that is expensive. I think we should spend a BIG chunk of a (hopefully passed) reconciliation bill on that instead of expanding highways.

"The study is the first to comprehensively quantify the overall burden and characteristics of COVID-19 in the U.S. during 2020..."

Well, it's not been widely reported, but if you dig through the cdc.gov website you can find their estimate of the multiple (actual cases / PCR-confirmed cases), which has been between 4 and 5 (closer to 4) for a while now (higher in early 2020). It doesn't get the press it should, but it's not a new finding.

Lying to the public doesn't work either, because once they're established as a known liar, why should we believe anything they say?
Regarding Q2, spacetime curvature is the grid itself. Think of it as "space" in the simple term where objects including black hole travel through. Black hole's gravity warps the surrounding spacetime. Think of it as the "space" is stretched out by the black hole's gravity.

Regarding time, there's no universal global coordinate for time in General Relativity. Time is based on each observer's time coordinate. When time stops inside a black hole, it means time appears to stop in an outside observer's time coordinate.

This is because the spacetime curvature inside a black hole has been stretched so much that the stretched curvature approaching infinite long. See the pulled down funnel [1]. An object traveling in no faster than light speed in the infinitely long curvature takes forever and its time appears frozen to an outside observer.

But it's an illusion to the outside observer. The observer is seeing the light imprint emitted from the object, not the real object itself. See the diagram below.

BH << o. EH. . . . .......... >> P

BH is the black hole singularity and o is the falling object toward BH. EH is the event horizon. P is the observer. The dots are the light photons emitted from the object along the way. The photons are traveling away from o and BH toward P. When the photons reach P, P can measure o's movement and time.

Imagine the object o has a blinking light beacon at its tail, blinking every second by its clock, i.e. on for half of a second and off for half of a second. You can see the light every second and measure the object's time.

Since the speed of the light is constant, the photon traveling away from BH will take longer and longer to move across the stretched out space, as shown by the spaced out dots between EH and P. As o approaching EH, P will see the blinking light slows down because the photons take longer to move across the stretched space. P would conclude that o's time is slowing down. Passed EH, the photon is not coming out because the space is stretched longer than it can cover in its constant speed. At EH, the photon can still come out but at a very slow pace because the space is stretched matching the speed of light. The beacon is not blinking because the light stream been stretched to infinitely long. Object o appears frozen as its time has stopped by P's measurement of the blinking rate. But what P sees is the long stream of photons stretched out when o approaching EH. The object o has long gone in its forever falling across the infinitely stretched spacetime. Only its light imprint before EH is being observed as frozen.

Same here. Why the hate on UI element borders? It's just making things worse.
Not sure whats you point or argument, none questioned the existence of humans captcha solvers.
> No, you're also using the fact that they're unverified as an argument against their credibility.

Yes, a series of unverified tweets are not very credible as news.

If you think tweets should be taken as credible without verification, that certainly isn’t unusual in the population, but I don’t recommend it.

> because you think it's more likely that many different sources and media reporters conspire to form a false narrative about this.

No - that’s your position. The false narrative is your claim that what you are calling ”Nato war crimes” are ignored for some reason by western media.

That’s clearly false. Today for example, New York Times posted an analysis of how the drone attack against isis-k probably just killed the wrong target, and the BBC picked the story up and reported it too.

Your argument rests solely on completely unverified tweets, and your conspiratorial claim that the media isn’t interested in the story.

It’s more likely that the story just isn’t substantiated.
I'll be honest and say I don't like this trend in UX. The article is right that they are merely following others, so I won't lay this on them as their fault, but it feels like making icons buttons look less like buttons is reversing a trend a lot of people are used to, as well as reducing contrast for older users and disabled folks. I think the most recent change that stuck in my mind was recent firefox's redesign.

I recall the GNOME team priding themselves on actually starting the original gnome 3 redesign based on studying usage patterns, and against the angry grain I was on their side and used gnome 3 for quite a few years. I have to wonder whether this design was passed by any accessibility folks or even studied, it seems like it is against that spirit of actually evaluating usage patterns.
At the risk of sounding dumb, I'll ask the obvious question: in what way is this different from myriad other similar efforts (e.g. Eigen, Blas, Atlas, etc...)?

Also: why is it that for projects like these, the very first 10 lines on the web site is not an actual code example of what usage looks like?

I had to actually go dig in the test directory to find actual code.

I like GNOME, I just don't see the point of updating interface. Interface is something people depend on. Shouldn't we want it to be the same for a long time? Unless this change is the result of years of research and experiences with users. But with "This is not a new idea either — pretty much everyone else is doing it, e.g. macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, elementary OS, KDE.", this just seems to be following the trends.
It's easy to say the facts were misrepresented in hindsight. The original consensus is that there was no need for widespread mask wearing, and a supply shock would have been dangerous. We only know now (or rather a couple months later), that advice was wrong.
I wear safety glasses and a mask at work. I pull my mask up a little so that I can catch the edge of it between my nose and the glasses. I haven't had any issues with fogging.
Except that two people who were in that building, both claim a stairwell exploded under their feet before the towers came down. Not that the towers coming down should have anything to do with an explosion inside WTC7 but regardless, something exploded inside corroborated by the only two people who got out of that building.

So something something grand conspiracy...

Also symmetric free falling, from a fire? Has fire become opinionated and decided to consume a steel scraper equally at all floors on all sides of a building all at once?

I commuted to/from a train on an electric scooter. Not only are they just not viable for any trips longer than 3-4 miles, you can't go up any sort of incline either. Mine was "overclocked" to enable up to 500w of power and I'm 180lbs, but it wouldn't be able to climb even a 10 degree incline at over walking speed. And at least the consumer ones you can find on Amazon are not robust enough to withstand even 6 months of daily use before the tire wears out, battery terminals corrode, and screws start falling out.
For someone who works in health care, they're likely subjected to multiple variants at one time.

What's the metrics look like when someone is hit with 2+ variants at once?

HIV is similar, where someone can be positive for 1 or more different strains. And their viral loads are cumulative.
Imagine being exposed to some of the most vulnerable and desperate people in The United States and thinking “We should keep them out” instead of “We should help them.”
I love GNOME and I'm sad about this, I felt the previous style was pleasant to look at and very clear, and a contrast to all other flat UIs.

Go for the second option now or over the medium term. In the short term you could pick option 3 until you can find the person to fit option 2. Generally full time designer is not necessary at the stage you describe with some exceptions.

If you use option 3, have them give you 3 deliverables,

1. the design files,

2. Output html if possible and

3. Get a style guide for the site.

You probably know this already but most of the time the HTML output you receive will be horrible adobe generated code, but I've found it convenient many times as it still gives you a way to snag all the styles without rebuilding them all right away. When you hire a good frontend person they will rework the styles anyway, so worry less about perfection at this stage and just get the site up and functional would be my 2 cents.
C style code plus you can get some nice things like hashmaps without having to implement or find a implementation and instead use std library
(Too late for edit)

Looks like Eigen also defaults to EIGEN_FAST_MATH which makes Eigen's psqrt ("packet sqrt") use _mm256_rsqrt_ps instead of _mm256_sqrt_ps [1].

Interestingly, the thing they're trying to avoid (long latency of sqrt vs rsqrt) hasn't been true for a long time on Intel processors, but apparently is still true for AMD parts according to Agner Fog's tables [2] (though maybe I'm reading them wrong, there is no vsqrtps entry for Zen2/3).

Hopefully, Eigen will separate the single global "fast math" config [3].

Key reasons why some startups never succeed
Well, it is very common in situations like this to have 2 to 4 assistants, and I can't believe without them it would be possible to avoid hard conflicts and even violence on regular basis.
All respiratory viruses can have long term effects. I’ve had super annoying colds that refused to go away for like 6 months. Covid is no different.

So many people are so absolutely petrified over covid. It’s like they suddenly woke up and realized that respiratory viruses can suck and people die of horrible illness. None of this is unique to covid.

It’s life. There are no guarantees. What we are doing now is not living. Vaccines were it. Time to return to actual normal.
People need to let go of their pride, so that even if they don't want to listen to authority, they can accept that they should.

This might not seem like a big difference but it is. The former creates arbitrary roadblocks: people refusing the vaccines no matter the incentives. It causes people to form junk "science" to justify why 2 + 2 actually equals 5. The latter allows people to compromise: I'm not intrinsically opposed to X, I'm just opposed because of Y, and if you can solve Y than I no longer care about X.

People need to accept cognitive dissonance more. And accepting cognitive dissonance means accepting that sometimes you're the dumb guy or the bad guy. But everyone is the dumb guy or bad guy at some point, whether or not they accept it. Accepting means that you can correct your mistakes and be the dumb/bad guy less often.

Unfortunately it's against human nature to accept cognitive dissonance: it literally causes stress. I don't even think I can fully accept cognitive dissonances. But I believe we can teach people how to resolve cognitive dissonance better, so that people can accept that they have flaws and make mistakes, without accepting that they're a failure.
Insurance does charge higher for smokers and that is certainly a "lifestyle health status".
One issue in particular that makes it malware is that it attempts to download 3rd party apps from non-Google Play store. That’s a major security risk for introducing malicious APKs onto your phone.
The new warnings also tend to be increasingly asinine, and I remember an instance where two warnings happened to be in direct contradiction to each other, making it impossible to satisfy them both without some extensive and absolutely useless rewriting of the code.

I think one was about superfluous parentheses, and the other about not parenthesising an expression because it assumed the programmer would be too stupid to know the precedence of operators.
Yes, because they chose not to drive while drunk. If the uber driver kills someone while driving, that’s not on the person who hailed the uber.

Someone who infects another after getting vaccinated falls into the same bucket.

They did their due diligence by being responsible. The infector in that case isn’t at fault.

In your analogy, the vaccine is the taxi driver.
Also, it doesn’t take too much acceleration to make that trip. Comfortable earthlike 1g (~ 10m/s/s) is enough to build up a decent speed in a very reasonable time. Energy is the issue though.
Mate (Gnome2) still works. If you disagree with Gnome team, you can invest into this Gnome fork.
