An earlier paper, "Discrete Immune Response Signature to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccination Versus Infection", Cell, May 2021, https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3838993

> .. our analysis revealed significant qualitative differences between the two types of immune challenges. In COVID-19 patients, immune responses were characterized by a highly augmented interferon response which was largely absent in vaccine recipients. Increased interferon signaling likely contributed to the observed dramatic upregulation of cytotoxic genes in the peripheral T cells and innate-like lymphocytes in patients but not in immunized subjects. Analysis of B and T cell receptor repertoires revealed that while the majority of clonal B and T cells in COVID-19 patients were effector cells, in vaccine recipients clonally expanded cells were primarily circulating memory cells. Importantly, the divergence in immune subsets engaged, the transcriptional differences in key immune populations, and the differences in maturation of adaptive immune cells revealed by our analysis have far-ranging implications for immunity to this novel pathogen.
Do you think street names and place names being in Hawaiian might have anything to do with this?
OpenStreetMap is indeed awesome in this area. I wonder why Apple can't just import their fresh data for a few years already.
That's a one way of trying to put a positive spin on “cryptocurrency spends a lot of resources to prevent the social technologies developed over the length of human history for securing property from working with it, because it has a supposedly superior technical solution to the problem which...doesn't work nearly as well.”
Here's an interesting article I just found, which discuesses the virus-autoimmunity connection: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01835-w
The full sub-title says "serious illness" ... I did my best to compress to an informative post title that fit in the limits:

> Covid and Age

> An unvaccinated child is at less risk of serious Covid illness than a vaccinated 70-year-old.
Really? I shop at Lowe's a lot. I often find isle numbers like BW. I assume that means something like "Back Wall" but, nope. There is no map that I'm aware of and no indication where it might be on an isle (save a bay number, which is almost always wrong). It is "good enough" to get me in the vicinity on some products but not others. A store map showing me where isle BW is would be a great addition.
TBH that's better than I expected. I'd call the column masking "barely adequate" rather than "correctly" but it's at least making an attempt to reconstruct the scene and do additive composition in realtime.

Wasn't the real breakthrough meant to be to do with variable focus lightfield voodoo meaning that the rendered components looked like they 'fitted in' with the scene and could occlude as well as be occluded, rather than being additive CGI floating in front of it?
It is unbelievable how much more developed most east asian countries are compared to the west. While poverty, corruption and crime are rampant in western europe and the us, countries such as japan, south korea and singapore are thriving.

I just exploded in laughter when I read Java OOM at 128MB.

I can't explain to my coworkers, they wouldn't understand.
Maybe I missed it from the article, but for persons who were both infected and vaccinated, did they only study persons who were infected before vaccinated?

Just curious if the order of those two events matters.
I do think it's a fairly niche market. The people in my life who like "plant based meat" are the same ones that are "veggie burgers" before. Either they don't love the taste of meat or don't eat it for religious reasons.

Potentially if it gets very cheap it may be something poor people opt for to save a dollar vs a real burger.

Other than that, the excitement about not eating real meat is limited to the same circles that claim climate change is their reason for not having kids (see story from yesterday.) For the rest of us, a nice juicy burger or steak is where it's at and that's not changing anytime soon
Simplest explanation is that psychedelic drugs are associated with novelty-seeking behavior. People who exhibit more novelty-seeking behavior are more likely to be active and less likely to be sedentary.

Oh, absolutely. I think I unintentionally implied that just getting infected was a good strategy, but I 100% agree. The vaccine is awesome, and a far superior option.

I could see how this would be super helpful for the world of IoT.

I am not sure if this is helpful for this community (Except as a proof concept for deploying other IoT devices, which is valuable) as I think most people could deploy RpiPlay fairly easily. Maybe I am reading it wrong though.
Can't be sure where you are, but in the Netherlands there were limits on amount of manure (which has various soil and air pollution effects) that were surpassed by dairy farmers, resulting in EU penalties, resulting in NL having to find a way to lower overall pollution... resulting in temporary stoppage of all new building construction and permanent reduction of max speed limits from 6-19h (from 120 to 100 max).

So the people have ultimately given up some things, ergo subsidising the farmers.
There’s some possibility we hit peak oil last year, but it’s going to be less about running out of oil and more about the shifting economics of energy production. Less “we’re running out of oil” and more “renewables are so damned cheap”.
But that's two different arguments. Either you are arguing that you don't want to get vaccinated because the vaccine has been developed quickly(in which case I'm going back to my original question - why?), or you just don't think you need it. For the latter - indeed there are countries where proof of having been through Covid recently( <6 months) is just as good as having been vaccinated, you can participate in all activities.

Europe is far, far, behind japan in pretty much every aspect. Paris, London or Berlin are basically dumps compared to Japan’s cities.
It's an excellent product for glue code between the various AWS services. Just about every AWS product can trigger Lambda functions, so if you want to run image recognition whenever a new image is uploaded to S3, Lambda is the way to do that. They also make great cron jobs. But for some reason Amazon likes to sell it as a way to run any web application backend, as if that was a good use case.
That's someone's opinion of the actual price, based on their opinion that the "water rights" ought to be more expensive because they think it would produce change they happen to agree with. In their opinion it ought to be a lot more expensive in other ways too.

But despite their opinion, no, it isn't that expensive. That sort of analysis heavily relies on telling you what you want to hear, and expecting that you won't dig into the analysis and realize that if you applied the same standard to everything else in the world you'd get absurd results all over the place.
Plausibly TSMC's management noticed recent saber-rattling in their neighborhood, and/or more-distant governments starting to offer them worthy inducements.
That's not really true, and furthermore, the virus-induced immunity is far more dangerous than vaccine-induced immunity.
I would like to add that I know some engineers getting paid 75-90k € (some even with some unlikely stock options added) in Barcelona, Spain.

These are individual contributors with 10 years of experience.

These same engineers were getting paid 50k 3 years ago, but the current job market (and I guess, competition from remote work) increased wages that much.

Adjusting for cost of living, I would say that very close to SF.
I don’t mean to bust your bubble, but I live in a town in Japan with basically no foreigners, but there’s plenty of litter and it’s gotten substantially worse since COVID started and the few foreigners that were here all left.

Beaches are also getting dirtier and dirtier with people having parties and just throwing plastic bottles, alcohol cans, food packets, etc wherever they please. Quiet places far from town I used to visit 2 years ago turned into absolute dumps this past year.
Always bugs me when a news source like this is so small it doesn’t have a Wikipedia listing. With only their “about us” to go by who funds them and what their angle is is hard to divine.
Equating the US and Western Europe seems like a strange thing to do. The problems both have are almost completely unrelated.
Yeah but this is backwards. We're remembering how to remember something instead of just actually remembering the thing.

> If you archive your project and then want to get back to it after years on another computer which did not have the dependencies installed, you don't need to hunt on the internet for dependencies that don't exist anymore[1].

Rust doesn't yank things though, except for legal reasons so taht shouldn't happen(assuming you're getting a crate from crates.io not a random github link)
I agree. You should type something as null if you need to force callers to deal with the null value and can't do that with an exception.

Type it as void if the value isn't really important to the caller, or you'll throw exceptions in an exceptional case.

Common wisdom is to always have user-defined functions return void, but sometimes I think it's okay to use void if you're replacing a built in JavaScript functionality so the outer code was relying on that semantic. For example, replacing a simple usage of findIndex (that returned undefined) with something more complex that does API calls.
Yeah I really did not like this article. How about the West lets Japan figure out its own proper government and role for the emperor, rather than continuing to insist that our ways are unquestionably superior? The entire mood of this piece is dismissive and arrogant. Poor journalism.
>The government is not mandating you get vaccinated.

So they are conscripting others to mandate you get vaccinated on their behalf.
Gee, that sounds an awful lot like they are conscripting companies to be state actors on their behalf. Good luck with any company trying to hide behind that. It hasn't yet sunk into corporate America the liability plank they are about to walk off of but they better wake up fast or it's going to get expensive very quickly.
Making up numbers doesn't seem like the best way to prove a point.
You nailed it! I've also faced issues in the past with captchas, and elaborate bot detection mechanisms. It would also be helpful to mention that there are automatic captcha solvers to bypass security once one is detected. I am wondering if it is worthwhile to provide an addition to this post on how to improve the efficacy of scraping despite these roadblocks. The article is geared towards beginner scrapers that are just starting out so maybe it would be overkill? What do you think?
I don't mind walking if I want to, on a trail or something, but not if I have to. I guess I'm just not used to it and don't like it enough to make it a habit.
Older generation? I'm not even that old and everyone freaking out at communication "reverting" to still much faster and easier than in 2003 and trying to explain why they were so distraught over a few hours of kickin' it like the 90s (except, again, not at all, because the entire rest of the Internet still existed, and everyone still had a texting-capable cell phone on them at all times) has been very funny.

I'm trying to imagine my grandma, who lived through WWII and polio and Korea and the civil rights movement and Vietnam and the oil crisis and decades of worrying about nuclear war et c. and didn't use a communication device more advanced than a home telephone until some time after 2005, having a meltdown over six. hours. without Facebook and WhatsApp. LOL. This is a woman who wouldn't think it's that weird if a house didn't have tap water.

The California government has a track record of declaring “facts” like this to push their agenda. The fact that a government agent claimed something does not automatically make it true.
Same and same - although I recall hearing it in 2019 and it felt like an outlier.
They are though. This varies regionally, but they're both multimillion dollar industries that push very hard to make their goods affordable to increase their available customer base.

I grew up in a lower middle class neighborhood, and every other house has a bench and some weights. Many of the families saved up for a treadmill or elliptical, and woe betide the child who thought they could use it. Someone on every block(usually more wealthy than the area average) had an above ground pool, and the neighborhood kids would go over and hang out there all summer.
Readwise (paid service) does this for me.

Lots of integrations (kindle highlights, hypothes.is highlights on the web etc.), and they present your old highlights to you in the form of spaced repetition, either via email or via the smartphone app.

I agree strongly with his point that the Japanese style of zoning is more capitalistic.

Everything about modern zoning in American cities exists to prevent your neighbors from using their land how they want to use it.

We've made great advances in quality of life since the 1920s, but most places to live around my area date pre-war unless you can afford to live in a glass tower luxury condo complex. Rebuilding those 1920s-era buildings is generally not possible, and definitely not economical.

In Japan, it's common practice to buy a plot of land, demolish any structure currently on that land, and build your dream home from a catalog (based on your budget, of course). It's bafflingly capitalistic compared to how my city is run, where most of the housing stock is in violation of current zoning law, you're lucky if the house you want to buy doesn't have any asbestos, and presence of lead is treated as a dont-ask-dont-tell situation.
Subsidies are keeping cow COGS artificially low. Removing them would increase the cost to raise a cow; selling it for more money does not necessarily lead to more profit. This is the difference between gross profit and net profit... and we're not even taking into account what the market is willing to pay for a burger in the first place.
This person believes the pandemic is a lie.

Yes, but a different Longhorn. The early 00s Windows codenames all had a PNW skiing theme, and that Longhorn is a well-known bar at the base of Whistler mountain.
The Japanese emperor concept precedes Western “invade everyone” imperialism by about a thousand years and has historically almost nothing to do with other countries. It really took Western ideas of imperialism to get Japan to be interested in the outside world.

I remember peek gas articles 40 years ago.

Anything that happens now is viewed through a pseudo "it's the system" and IMO sort of implied apocalyptic-ism about it. It really wears on me.
Yes, the government subsidizes corn and soy. That doesn't mean that alternatives cheaper than the unsubsidized price of these inputs couldn't be found. If subsidies are removed, innovation may follow.

There are also cases where the government restricts crop production.

It's happening but it is not all that widespread. In my experience consulting in the USA, it tends to happen in situation where the client doesn't have the budget to hire a domestic team but doesn't have a real requirement the team be domestic. I liken it to someone who buys grey-market property. They don't ask too many questions and they don't want to know.

It doesn't happen too often because there isn't a lot of profit in this. Better to just hire a domestic sales person or PM or customer relations person and be open about it.
This has nothing to do with the JVM. Scala for example is already capable of exactly what Erlang/Haskell do. This is merely about the language Java, which lacks support for to make such a programming style ergonomic. You either need a language with very powerful type-system or a dynamically typed language. (or specific support for it, like in Go, but even in Go you are limited to what the language designers forsaw)

Project Loom will not change that, but it will improve performance for certain scenarios.
The biggest strength of React is that it is _just_ a library. You don't need to write JavaScript/TypeScript in a special way (other than limiting side effects, which is not a React-specific challenge).

Svelte is not JavaScript. Svelte is a compiler that significantly changes the way code is executed, despite being superficially quite similar. Samples of code that look like they would be equivalent in JavaScript are not equivalent in Svelte.

This can be good for easily reaching a performant version, but it's also a major drawback.

Reconciling these approaches seems quite difficult--maybe the tsx compiler could begin to recognize some common patterns that can be compiled to simple in-place updates. But it would be brittle, since React is more expressive in that it allows lots of code that _can't_ be straightforwardly transformed into efficient in-place updates.
If I really need to remember something I use spaced repetition, Anki being one of the more well known tools for that. Spaced repetition is particularly useful if you need to retain information indefinitely; you can do so as long as you stick with the process. The downsides to it are the upfront cost of ingesting whatever information you're looking to memorize into what is usually a flash card like system.
I don't memorize; I try to learn a skill by applying it in practice on some project, no matter if real or a "toy" one; most of the skill will stick, but the memorization of all the facts facts is rarely relevant - any facts which were not required to apply that skill don't really need to be memorized and can be looked up easily when/if needed.
scottydelta, Thank you for taking the time to give me more context / insight.

Safe to say you have a verified way of backup and restore (with worst case data loss of an 1 hour).

I am not exactly an expert on what stage does Transaction ID Wraparound comes in but still know that as one of the key criticisms of PostgreSQL so wanted to check.

Also, 7 days backup with versioning switched is a smart tactic! Thanks once again for this.

Bad idea. Easy for packages to disapear.

This seems like more trouble then its worth most of the time
You don't need plant based meat. That's just a a crutch for people who don't know how to cook. It's much easier to take decent meat, throw it on a pan or grill, and end up with something pretty tasty.

As a Texan, former steak and ribs consumer, and now 10+ year vegitarian, I have discovered that _good_ vegitarian creations are divine - textures, flavors, and fewer belly aches later. But it takes some real effort for a while to start to learn to really cook. And it's as or more expensive, since quality organic veggies are not cheap (and you can consume more by volume than you can meat).

However, even the best meat replacements are rarely as nice to eat as a good veggie dish (imo).

So people just need some good education and training. Then they can eat very healthy and very tasty food without all the sodium and other additives that go into the manufactured fake meat.
> If FB suddenly disappeared people would likely go back to texting each other images and calling each other more often. In private where they could more openly admit their struggles and non-public views. People would stop pretending that they had more than 30 "friends". Daily likes and emojis would be replaced with actual video calls, less frequent but longer, more intimate conversations.

Not really, you assume this is to keep up with current friends. Not past co-workers who you're friendly with. People you were friends with when you were 20-years younger. People you went to college with but were only friends and not still talking 10-years later. Basically, people whose phone number you don't have and can't find.
> Admittedly, it's also nice to see that Docker and the ecosystem around it is still supported and is alive and kicking

When the controlling organization is starting to go down the user hostile route (e.g. payed update opt-outs), it is more or less sad to see that the Docker is alive and kicking. Developers should ran away as fast as possible.
