Yeah. The development of bitcoin was a historical event. As the first cryptocurrency it will always be important and remembered.

However, it's time for it to die in order to make way for better projects like Ethereum and Monero.
I agree. My personal experience is that the chain and derailleur are by far the most fragile parts of the system (disk brakes are probably quite fragile too, but regular caliper/cantilever/v-brakes are not much affected by corrosion.) but on cheap bikes, chains are easy to replace and derailleurs have a lot of tolerance. So just cleaning them regularly and oiling them is generally good enough.

Some specialized winter bikes use a belt instead of a chain, but I find those too expensive, hard to service and maintain.
Oh, of course you're right. In FORTH you'd need an UNLOOP there if you were using a DO LOOP.

If QEMU is compiled with graphical window support, and is started without `-nodefaults`, then you can press ctrl-alt-2 to switch to the monitor, type "sendkey ctrl-alt-delete", then press ctrl-alt-1 to switch back to the emulated display.

Common QEMU frontends may have a UI button or keyboard sequence to do this for you (they connect to the monitor backend and send the same command, either as text or as JSON (in "qmp" mode)).

I'm not at all assuming an idealized free market. Lobbyists can exist but even lobbyists for particular firms compete with other lobbyists. Again, for something like this to make sense you would need to show how every scientific institution on earth somehow coordinates to not produce a superior vaccine.

Someone in the US can lobby all they want, if someone in India or China, any public research institute, any state agency produces a superior vaccine they will lose.

Are you saying tens of thousands of scientists and competing businesses, from Cambodia to Cuba to Russia to the US, to organisations that don't even have a profit motive like public university researchers, have all conspired to lock away some magic vaccine in a box?

Let's say the entire US has been captured by the vaccine lizard people, do you think China or Russia would forego the opportunity to expose to the entire world that this has been happening while also capturing the entire global market with a better product?

>Normally pensions are funded by investing, not by setting aside cash for the retirement of people who haven't even been hired yet

If that's meant to be a description of the USPS situation then it's not at all accurate.

The USPS is required to calculate its actuarial liability for its retirement fund by considering both current and future liabilities for the next 75 years (I think that's the part where I think you're getting 'setting aside cash for the retirement of people who haven't even been hired yet'). That is true.

But it also deducts from that liability the expected future accruals (i.e. the contributions to the pension fund that those people who haven't been hired yet will make).

I think you can probably agree that you need to do both of these things when considering the sustainability of a pension fund, no?

> but is a whole crate worth it

Yes. I'm not sure exactly what other response you'd expect from the author/maintainer of a library when they've already made a post encouraging other people to use it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> when you could just use e.g., `.map_err(|source| Error::Opening { source, filename })`

That's not equivalent, as `filename` is a `&str` but becomes a `String` when stored in the error. SNAFU automatically calls `Into::into` for you, so the closest would be:

.map_err(|source| Error::Opening { source, filename: filename.into() })

> Seems like all `.context` provides

There's also the possibility of automatic construction of values (backtraces, location information, the current time, things captured from globals / thread locals, etc.)

Beyond `.context`, SNAFU also implements the `Error` trait (and associated methods like `Error::source`).

There's also convenience methods and macros to create leaf errors, those that originate in your code.

> obviously the `#[snafu(display(...))]` macros could just be moved into a `impl Debug for Error`

I'll assume you mean `Display`, not `Debug`. That also not quite true, as SNAFU offers a shorthand syntax that isn't yet in stable Rust:

"Unable to read {filename}"

would need to be one of

"Unable to read {}", filename
"Unable to read {filename}", filename = filename

> like all [...] provides [...] obviously [..] could just be moved

All code could have been written by your own hand or otherwise inlined. Your response feels (needlessly) highly dismissive of another person's work.

If the company thinks they have a good story around PTO they will sell it in the first interview. As an interviewee it's very important to me and I will definitely ask questions, but later in the process when I have more leverage.

They'd be better to ask about work/life balance and expectations in general and then probe what the interviewer answers back.
I have a technical question that I'm not at all poised to answer, that might be stupid like all questions not in one's domain:

I recently discovered the joy that is ZFS and everything that comes with it. I understand that the technical underpinnings of git are actually extremely different (and mathematical) _but_ just how far is a ZFS snapshot from a git commit really? It seems like the gap between the two might not need a huge bridge. Could a copy-on-write filesystem benefit from more metadata that would come from being implemented in a more git-like way?
I was wondering if it was related. Wonder if reusing established domains like this is beneficial for search result rankings.

IDK what SPECjbb does, but it really sort of depends on a lot of factors around how the JVM was setup.

No. But that's not the key question. The key question is: Did this reduction reduce the hospital requirement forecasts such that hospitals have free beds and can handle sudden and big accidents? An aircraft crash, a derailed train, a wave of food poisonings? And that is now the case, since the vaccines protect so well against severe effects.
Wow, nice! I didn't know it went back THAT far. Pretty cool actually.

I still use FTP for deploying updates to a few small static sites that I own. These sites get updated a couple of times a year and have no deployment dependencies, so it's easy. I wouldn't use it for deploying serious projects.

Otherwise, I've been using SFTP for a personal project where I'm using it as a part of a document storage API. The documents are managed by a SQLite application that stores their metadata.

FTP servers are easy to set up and aren't bound by someone's ecosystem. Plus, I can use any client I want to access the documents if I need to.

Regarding the flagged comment, analogies are inherently flawed. Theft and rape contribute differently to the overall picture because they are different, not necessarily because of hypocrisy.

Regarding glorification of theft in fiction, it's usually either the gentleman thief stealing from the rich, or rarely the likable pauper using street skills to get a loaf of bread. I don't feel like these meaningfully contribute to any notion that "it is alright to [steal] as much as you want", nor to typical smash and grabs.

I think the main reason is that these laws were penned specifically to target HIV, not any deadly virus, and they were penned at a time of heightened paranoia against HIV.

This makes the law narrowly focused and if you want a law to protect you from "known deadly virus" then make that law, and you'll cover HIV and any other known deadly virus.

Where is the law for hepatitis? etc... the list could go on and the point is that this law was only targeting HIV.

The primary measurement is called group delay, which is the derivative of phase with respect to frequency (since a linear phase is just a uniform delay). Fortunately we have studies from the 70s publicly available that establish a group delay audibility threshold.

Again, all or nothing thinking. It's not binary; protected completely or unprotected. I doesn't work like that. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28800966

The more unvaccinated staff there are, the more risk there is to all staff, vaccinated or not.

And tell me, what about the patients? What if they're not vaccinated through no fault of their own (too young, immune-compromised etc)? Do they not deserve safety in hospital?

I want liberty too, liberty from the risk of being around unvaccinated people. I understand that I won't get that liberty in all contexts, but in some such as hospitals and aircraft, I am glad of it.
