I disagree with the reasoning that purple looks closer to red than green because of the "left hump" in the red cone sensitivity curve. That IS why we see a purplish color in the rainbow (as opposed to it stopping at blue).

But purple is close to red because of the circular nature of color because of the 3 types of cone cells. Even in the simplified model used by digital cameras, where it truly is red, green and blue, red is close to purple. This would be true even if (as is true on many camera sensors) the red sensitivity curve had no "left hump".

> The mortgagee in that case applied to the court for relief, and had to make ongoing payments during the period that relief was granted. The relief did not put the creditor at a substantial risk of bankruptcy.

I'm not sure how these are related to due process and the fifth amendment so I don't see how they would distinguish the two cases. Under the CDC moratorium eviction, tenants still needed to show the appropriate degree of financial hardship.

> But SCOTUS tends to avoid ruling on the constitutionality of a law in cases where the simpler explanation is that the law was not appropriately applied.

They're not arguing about that, because to do so would require something resembling a consensus on what the actual law is. They're arguing about statutory interpretation. The main thread of the dissent in Alabama Assn. of Realtors was that "[T]o make and enforce such regulations as in [its] judgment are necessary to prevent the introduction, trans-mission, or spread of communicable diseases [inter-state]." means exactly what it says.

TLDR: Because Python is slow

Yes, that is the achilles heel of Python.

I am always torn between Python and PHP for new projects because of this.

The Python Syntax plus its import system are huge advantages over PHP. On the other hand, you suffer a 6x slowdown if you go with Python. Decisions decisions. I so dearly wish I could have the good parts of both worlds.
I don't see it that way at all.

Game theory could plausibly explain why PRC keeps resurfacing their unsubstantiated US military origins theory.

Assuming an actual lab leak at WIV, from a US project similar to the one rejected by DARPA. And PRC is aware of all these facts.

Under these assumptions, this story/rumour could be seen as a threat, which re-emerges whenever PRC feels under pressure: "We won't go down alone for this"

> Err, having people practice some self-discipline and personal responsibility would be great. Nice selling point of surveillance heh.

It might be if the only self-regulation centered around harmful criminal acts. Who doesn't want people to think twice before stabbing or stealing? Unfortunately what it actually means is self-regulation of any and all activity that someone in power might disapprove of.

That might mean something totally innocent like showing affection for someone who is the "wrong" sex, race, or caste. It might mean being overhead speaking out against the people in power, or against whatever gods they worship. And just because you might not need to worry about those things landing you in trouble today, who can say who will be in power tomorrow or what they will hold against you? The record is permanent and can be mined for evidence against anyone at any time.

Who wants to live their life feeling like everything and anything they do in public (and increasingly in private) could be used against them now or in the future? Because you can never know what actions will be an offense, the smartest thing to do is to be as totally non-offensive as humanly possible. To never do or say anything unless you absolutely have to. To never speak your mind.

That is the chilling effect of constant surveillance and while few people will actually live their entire lives by that extreme (few at least until increasing examples of punishment are publicly known), in the back of everyone's mind they'll be forced to consider and weigh the risks simply living their lives freely will bring them.
So I am confused as to why you don't see the problem. Yes, there was some due diligence required, but I don't think that's the issue. No one was asking for zero due diligence.

The problem is that this loan program was biased against private business and promoted the creation of collective organizations, and predictably, private business did not take advantage of it but collectives did, and from that you claim that private business didn't want to take advantage of it. You see the issue here?

If they just said "Hey, the banks wont lend to this risky venture, so we'll step in and do it" and they offered the same terms to everyone regardless of their political organization, then it would be a different story. But that's not what happened.

I usually read at my desk, under warmly yellow lamp light. I read by myself, and for myself. I sometimes turn on a playlist of Bach, but most of the times, I read in silence. When there are dialogues in the book, I sometimes read aloud, with differentiating tones and voices, as if I'm a voice actor.

Those are the moments when I stop being a responsible adult in life, a spouse, an employee, a colleague, or a friend. I'm just a child wallowing in silly wonderlands of imagination.

> Why a person would ever walk away from a computer without saving is beyond me.

Because it's extremely convenient and I don't remember ever losing anything on my Mac. I close the lid in the evening, open it the next morning and everything is there exactly like I left it. MariaDB is still running, my IDE is still running, and I can jump right in. Day after day after day, my uptime is usually the number of days since the last macOS update.
That is a good question.

I have a (very) educated guess, but it's still only a guess.

I think there were two reasons.

The first is historical practice. POSIX themselves say that they don't codify new standards. Instead, they codify existing practice as standards. In practical terms, this means that they look at what all implementations that they care about do, figure out what is common among them, and codify that as a standard.

As far as I can tell, at the time that POSIX was first codified, there was at least one `bc` implementation that only accepted single letter names. So that's what they codified.

Some evidence for this reason: in the Rationale section of the `bc` standard [1], they mention historical practice and implementations several times.

(As an aside, the reason that that implementation only accepted single letter names is because it was a compiler for `dc`, and `dc` only accepts single letter names because of its reverse polish notation and "one letter per command" design.)

The second reason, while related to the fact that historically, `bc` was a frontend to `dc`, is slightly different: it's easier to implement that way.

If you look at the original source of the original Robert Morris and Lorinda Cherry `bc` (which I have because I'm a nerd), its parser only looked for the second letter of each keyword. They could do that because all other identifiers would be single letters. It worked, and they also probably wanted to spend little time on it since most of the users would be programmers like themselves who could deal with such limitations easily, though that is an assumption on my part. (Someday I would like to talk to Morris and Cherry about it, as well as Philip Nelson, the author of the GNU `bc`.)

By the way, the original Morris and Cherry implementation was the implementation in use at the time of codifying POSIX that only allowed single letter names. Its direct descendant is still in use today as the `bc` for the Plan 9 operating system.

So that's my guess. Take it with a grain of salt.

> There is a section about Airflow and while the author doesn't advocate for it, I've very much like it many many times. People still recommend it, but I find it to be an absolute nightmare to deal with.

Airflow's UX is just needlessly easter-eggy and bad. The one thing I'd want out of the dashboard is the list of recent job runs and whether they succeeded or failed, so of course that's hidden in such a way that a novice has to click 10 different places to find it. There's also the fact that they chose to call a timestamp "execution time" when it often doesn't correspond to the time the job is executed. Want to add parameters to your task? You better like hand-writing JSON or pasting it into a textbox because apparently that's a weird thing to do, so why bother adding any UI support for it.
You are right. My point is that you have to take steps to close tabs, if it is just "explicitly closing Firefox". On Desktop, the browser will be terminated on shutdown. Shutdown does not apply to phones. If I want to close all tabs the second I lock my phone - no such thing. It would be enough having a "Stop all Apps&Tabs at 12am" feature.

This is really why I avoid browsing things on my phone at all, or use self-hosted progressive web apps that run in dedicated tasks.

Btw. - can someone explain why my initial comment is downvoted - Is it because my use case appears ignorant or unusually extravagant?
Those are solved problems. Chrome has being doing binary diffs for years.

The reason Apple doesn’t is because they like to ship updates as bootable disk images. This makes it easier to roll back from than an in—place update, since you can just boot the old image if the update fails.

Any source you could reference about the general practice of mandatory quarantines prior to immunization?

It was unprecedented in our life time. That's all people expressed. Not acted like. At most that's what they believed.
Please educate us on how the world worked. Provide some sources, and not only a reference of occurrences of quarantines used throughout history, of course the practice existed, but I read your claim is that it was general practice.

Quarantine is a measure that always existed under serious circumstances, where people would most likely spread a disease causing certain death to healthy, whether young or old people. Today these quarantines are absurd measures causing far more harm that supposedly contain the spread of a virus. Which is spreading anyhow.

Following your logic, going to some extreme would lead to any pathogen discovery on anyone could grant a total shutdown of the worldwide traffic, stop all commercial activity, have every single person assigned to residence. The logic is dangerous beyond belief. You mention echo chambers, it applies to all sort of ideas, not only those you disagree with are echo chambered. there is something even more worrying, it is how institutions influenced by profit makers use propaganda to shape the way we think, and to see that you and many others don't have the respect of other people's appreciation. Do as you please, take all the necessary measure you feel would keep your safe. But Respect other people's freedom.

The question is who pays. You want quarantine, that's fine. Pay for it. Pay for the cost of quarantine facilities and staffing where they exist. And pay for the burden imposed on those mandated to be quaranrined. Those who agree with quarantine should accept the cost, not imposing it on everyone. Why? Because you would then quickly realised the true cost of it and start realising the absurd compromise made with those measures. Right now the impact is diluted across government spending, delayed economical, sanitary and mental impacts. So we go along with disproportionate measures until we can measure their true costs

Take a serious look at whats going on across European countries with these mandates. It doesn't make mainstream news, but pick a few countries and find see the growing number of street protests, and the growth in participants. France currently has spinning up movements as a support of medical staff. Hospital employees claiming the measures such as forced vaccines are absurd, lost their jobs as a result of their stance and are actively voicing their concern. Perhaps they are more ignorant than you about history, maybe they are in echo chambers, but please don't make it seem like we have lunatic medical measure deniers on one side and conscious well educated who support ethical measures on the other.

If you have every played around with a spectrum analyzer, it is pretty fascinating to scan the airwaves. You can google it, there are tons of sites on how to turn an rpi or latop into a spectrum analyzer using an inexpensive USB device (HackRF etc.)
But what amazes me is how much of the RF spectrum is seemingly unused, 100's of Mhz scan by with scant detection of any sort of signal. Checking online often you are in huge swaths of spectrum reserved for the military or Satellite or something but when you scan it there's nothing there. You scan the commercial broadcast bands AM/FM/TV and the cellular bands, police fire, air and they are jam packed with activity. Most of the spectrum is not really being used. I applaud the CRBS move by the FCC, it's the first time I have seen them pry some spectrum out of the hands of the DoD. But it's a tiny slice of what they and others are just sitting on.

The reason I bring this up, is there was a quote in the article "
"stringing lines across telephone poles is risky with storms an ever-present threat. He needs to include fixed wireless as an alternative when considering how to budget for connecting the entire state"

The problem there is that with CBRS or other bands available now, is that you still need fiber, the 5G Signal only travels so far, you need a huge fiber backbone network to connect all the cell sites together. There is really no way to have it all wireless, there's just not enough spectrum.

But... if say there were more. Well, then it is conceivable one could chain together cell sites using 5G IAB, but you would need probably 10 times more spectrum that what is available with CBRS now to have any kind of bandwidth that one would consider broadband.

Just an observation that I think gets sort of overlooked sometimes because it is based on technical knowledge of how wireless networks work. The reason there are really only the big 3 is because it is incredibly capital intensive to build out a network due to the number of cell sites you have to build in order to get the frequency reuse necessary to have broadband wireless and a huge fiber backbone network to connect all those cell sites back to an MTSO.

If anyone is serious about having rural broadband in a country as vast as the US, in my view, the only practical was would be with much larger amounts of spectrum allocated to the effort. Which could be done in a similar arrangement as CBRS with a military preemption arrangement.
Bernie’s an interesting one. He and Warren should have been appointed high seats in the WH but instead had to occupy their senate seats because their governors are Rs (and would have appointed Rs in their vacancies, wrecking the majority). The minute it becomes clear that the spending bill won’t pass, the DNC should shrewdly push the two of them into government positions to galvanize enthusiasm for the 2022 election.

Granted, that requires the DNC to be capable of shrewd moves and I don’t recall the last time the DNC or the RNC actually made a shrewd move.
But why would one denial from one particularly finicky funding source (Trump-era US agencies) make researchers – who thought they were doing essential work – stop such essential work? Why wouldn't they use other funding, possibly from overhead funding or prior grants, or from other less-finicky funders? And in a jurisdiction – China – where many of the same limits or reporting-requirements might not exist?

Are virologists the only humans who, thwarted by one jurisdiction's limits, give up without considering doing their career-making, essential-to-humanity work elsewhere?

> …it's incredibly difficult to engineer new viruses… [and] …also incredibly difficult to create stable "gain of function"…

Indeed, but humans do incredibly difficult things all the time. In fact, they're often attracted to the challenge, and seek funding to help them do it, and often don't let a 'no' from any one funder stop them from bootstrapping work in other ways.

It's also incredibly difficult to engineer & get approval for vaccines to a brand-new disease, but that got done, recently, faster than ever before.

It was incredibly difficult to create nuclear weapons, but a lot of countries have done it independently.

Given the significant number of dangerous pathogen escapes from disease labs, it's also "incredibly difficult" to keep dangerous contagions safely contained. It's comparatively easy to accidently let them out!
It doesn’t matter, but it’s interesting.

Busybox's bc and dc are also based on mine, by the way. And no, many people don't include them in builds, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have them. The reason is probably because bc is a much bigger utility than most utilities in busybox and "bloats" the binary size. ("Bloat" is a relative term. The busybox version is probably less than 100 kb.)

While toybox does not have my dc, I don't know what you mean by toybox not having a bc. It does, and it is based on mine. It's not in the community directory, it's in the pending directory (bc.c), which just means it's not enabled by default. You can enable it if you wish. Rob himself does because it's what allows toybox to have all of the utilities necessary for building Linux. (Yes, Linux requires bc to build.)

Edit: I've corrected my parent comment because you are right that toybox does not have my dc. But it does still have my bc.
