I call BS on that. This was the performance of ancient modules (early 1980s) after 25 years of operation: https://energiforskmedia.blob.core.windows.net/media/19320/p...

And this was for modules manufactured in a period with 5-10 year warranties for the product. Today you get 25 year warranties. So you're basically claiming that QA massively worsened in the meantime.
Succinctly captures both the views.

I'm sure it varies by area, but in NYC I've never seen vegetables in a Walgreens (or DR, or Rite-Aid, &c.). They sometimes have milk and eggs, but it's usually the smaller packages (half a gallon or less / half a dozen respectively) and the dry goods that aren't cereal tend to be smaller or "instant" varieties (pouched rice and pasta is what I've seen). I think you'd struggle to healthfully feed an individual with just a Walgreens, much less a family.
You've decided you don't want to. And that's fine. But it's ultimately your decision.
Not even the 'Google Drive and Dropbox integration' is free, but instead is on the highest plan.

So to make up for the under powering and non-upgradeable storage space on that tiny 8 GB reMarkable 2 tablet, they cleverly introduce a subscription plan only for you to get more storage space.

I had high hopes about Remarkable and hoped it will improve its shortfalls after criticising them [0], but a subscription for even basic 'Google Drive and Dropbox integration' seems like a complete turn off compared with the PineNote.

Not surprising that we now know why the device storage was so low after all. Maybe they don't have any plans of increasing the internal space you will likely be paying for their plan AND potentially the cloud storage of your choice if you run out of space.

No thanks and no deal.

What I mean is that unless you only accept vaccination status if it's in a public database, any one can fake being vaccinated. Many if not most jurisdictions do not record it, and a piece of paper is all you need. And you can't force people to get it again if it's not on record, because the vaccines aren't approved for arbitrary numbers of shots. The anti-vaxx community is rife with fake covid vaccine cards.

So, you can't prove a negative, that being that someone has not been vaccinated. But you can prove that you had covid.
I suggest taking some time away from media and social media to recharge and cool down a bit.

If you feel sometimes angry and frustrated by the news and current events, I recommend taking a breather and reflecting on why you feel this way and whether your life is better after having spent your precious time on the news - and if not, why you continue to do so
Funny enough, twitter was down for me a few mins ago.
One solution to it from mid-1990s was sealed reactors that are refueled by sending them back to manufacturer, fitting on single railway car. Combined with being rather hard to extract the material due to coolant used (liquid metal solidifying when shut down or leaking) and various anti-proliferation poisons used, it makes a pretty good solution.
That's fascinating. I grew up in an area - Appalachia, specifically an area among the poorest regions east of the Mississippi - with entrenched forever poverty, and vast underinvestment in pretty much every way you could name. It never occurred to anyone to put together organized retail crime gangs and endlessly plunder local stores until they were all forced to close.

What other excuses do you have?
Nope. Google's break of SHA-1 was reusable in the sense that you can add an arbitrary (identical) suffix to both PDFs and keep the collision. But Git does not use raw SHA-1 hashes, it adds a prefix before computing object hashes. Therefore, Google's break of SHA-1 cannot be reused to break Git.
12th most obese nation in the world, I'd call that staggeringly unhealthy given our GDP:

You can prove that you were vaccinated in CA. I've already been in venues that required that if you had a CA driver's license (and required government issued photo ID).
> it isn't American culture to be that overweight

> hispanics and blacks are considerably more overweight than whites

Are these people not American?
Maybe, but government has a history of forcing bad things on business.
The body doesn’t keep antibodies around months after an infection but it knows how to create the antibodies if reinfection does happen. So of course a freshly vaccinated person will have more antibodies than a person who was infected months ago but that doesn’t mean the vaccine is more effective.
Police aren't good for much if you don't have a competent prosecutor who sees fit to prosecute criminals. Catch-and-release policing is a waste of everybody's time. And when the police misbehave, who is it that frequently neglects to prosecute them? The prosecutors, again. Who elects shitty prosecutors? Who elects shitty sheriffs? Who elect city councils and mayors who nominate shitty police chiefs?

All fingers point back to the electorate.
I wonder if it would help to decorate compute_mandelbrot with @numba.jit(parallel=True) and change your call to range to a numba.prange.

Being bad at collecting data. We badly need data regulation, the EU had the right idea with GDPR
> they get $20 per shot for the vaccine

Strengthening your argument further, the pharma industry already got $20 per shot for the vaccine.

The government signed a contract for the shots, so if you're letting them go to waste, you're just wasting your tax dollars which went to pharma companies anyways.
This has nothing to do with policing and everything to do with local prosecutors, judges, and city leadership.
That sounds about right. I always wonder what is the benefit of moving your open source project to a foundation. My best guess is that it’s when you are just done dealing with the project and want somebody else to maintain it, but you haven’t found an individual you trust to take it over.
"Facebook is committed to fostering an open and inclusive community, and that begins at our workspace. This is why we have a zero-tolerance policy for backbones, ethics or any other resemblence of a conscience.

Even the nuanced CDC advice was very bad at the time. In Feb 2020/early March 2020 countries with strong tracing programs were already reporting presymptomatic spread and large outbreaks via the air (following airflow) in enclosed restaurants and workplaces. In such a context "wear a mask if you are sick or caring for someone sick" is really not good enough.

And in hindsight, we now know that Covid is most contagious just as symptoms first appear.
I’m not angry. I’m just terribly disappointed in the misinformation we’re fed by people claiming to counter misinformation.

What we know now is they no one tries to be semi neutral any more. It’s all about narratives and making your side look like the good guys and gals.
Sorry about the long winded examples but...

Existing tools lack the ability to self-reflect:

1/ In 2019, I created a daily task called "do taxes". The plan was I'd spend a few minutes on taxes each day and have them completed over a few weeks. But everyday, this task would sit, undone for weeks at a time. After a few weeks of it just sitting there (or at least very slow progress), I realized this task was bad. It was too vague. When I sat down to do my "todos", this task had unclear expectations for completion or even what the true task was next.

I quickly wrote out all of the tasks I needed to do for my taxes (collect 1099s from {bank}, input receipts into a spreadsheet, find a CPA, etc.) and scheduled those throughout the upcoming weeks. Each day, I was able to do a "taxes" task, but having it broken up helped me stop ignoring the task.

2/ One of my daily tasks is "go to the gym". I have no idea how often I actually go to the gym. I have no idea if I go to the gym too little or too much. I don't know if I need to re-prioritize my day if I am not going enough or if I hit my goal of 5-days per week regularly and I can shift my focus to other priorities.

An analytics tool (I think) would help me spot gaps in my reoccurring tasks.
I’d go as far as saying classes are never the simplest tool for the job.

But maybe the past 10 years of functional-ish programming have broken me. There are lots of problem areas where objects fit nicely. Actor based programming is very elegant with classes and objects I think.
The NY Post has an editorial incentive to hype up cases like this. Having lived in the city my entire life: I've never heard anything remotely similar to this. It's a bit like the guy who keeps trying to steal subway trains[1]: you can write a great breathless article about him, but there's still only one of him.

How about you feel free to determine your line in the sand, and I will determine mine.
It feels like, in general, 10 data points are not enough to justify efficacy of a protocol.

One would also assume that simply exercising and eating properly on their own would have some measurable improvements. As the paper suggests, a larger case study would be in order, specifically with some combinations of the various measures in the protocol to determine individual and compound efficacy on a statistically relevant scale.
I like to think of it more of a separation of components needed to do the job.

Need a database, use a database as it's own service, don't couple the database to the app, so if you need to scale the app horizontally you can add more replicas. If you need to scale the database vertically, you can scale the database vertically. If these are coupled, you scale only whats needed.

On top of that use the language or tool that is meant for the job. If you need something written in go, build your service with go, if you need nodejs, do it with node, etc.

Microservices don't need to be micro or small
Just wait for another paper claiming that the ketogenic diet is what really works.
And these are definitely not a problem if ripped out because ffmpeg has them all. Source: I once wrote a (somewhat terrible) FLV player for an Android app that used libavcodec/libavformat.
But would you listen to 1000 different tracks per month if they cost $2.50 per track?
Those temperatures will also be at higher pressures, while the waste heat I mentioned is at atmospheric pressures. 500-600C is the "crossover zone" where ORC versus steam cycle really depends on the details.

The plants we were looking at were either open cycle turbines (which means turbines in mechanical duty such as compressor stations, since all new turbine power plants are combined cycle) or other industrial processes such as cement production and steel manufacture.
Circular Harmonics
The success cases I've seen were people talking to their family members, which is a reasonable approach.

The subreddit itself with some of the hateful "these people deserve to die" kind of comments is actively harmful.
My personal thought on the why it isn't popular is the fact Common Lisp has multiple implementations. Which one do I pick? What are the differences? What's the compatibility like should I decide to switch to another implementation? Experienced common lisp users will know the answer but try and get a manager or leader with no experience to spend time trying to understand/read about all these things when simpler/easier choices that work the traditional way exist. This can apply to scheme to some extent as well.
That's amazing. These insights taught me a lot. Thank you so much.

I asked because I remember reading documentation on the Super Metroid save file format. There's map data in the game state as well but it wasn't documented. Always wondered what it would take to reverse engineer that...

I'm gonna try it with one of my favorite NES games. If they have level dumpers, I've never seen them... I know one which has a complete disassembly though.
$500... that was still of interest.
Until I saw that the pen is not included in the price.
And then the price of the pens -$170 for the version with an eraser (how could you use it without!?).
I'm always adding a leather case to my devices too, and this didn't disappoint either - I'll never think my Kindle leather cases as expensive again.

If ordered, a cool $956 delivered. So this isn't happening, what a rip off those extras etc are for us down under. (Switching to US Store: USD $570 = AUD $776, maybe add 4-5% sales tax?).

PS agree completely about the date confusion. They should simply use 12-Oct-2021 or Oct-12-2021 to make it truly readable by as many as possible, as much as I like YYYYMMDD.

Edit: An Intuos Pro pen is $100 AUD, by comparison. This has tilt and pressure, with eraser and extra buttons, and comes with a number of nibs - https://www.kayellaustralia.com.au/product/2681-wacom-intuos...
It’s kinda weird that crime slumped as poverty skyrocketed in the 2008 recession. You would think crime would be higher in 2008 and 2009 than 2007 but instead it plummeted
SFPD was facing a shortage of new recruits this summer: https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/06/24/san-francisco-g...

The political and social climate in SF has led to a situation where the number of officers on the street can shrink even if the budget stays flat or grows.
but they are great for interviews with white board coding questions, which are great for getting a job nowaday!
But CA is not the entire world. What do you do with people who got vaccinated elsewhere? What about CA residents that claim they got vaccinated elsewhere? You can't do anything about that. It's a huge gaping hole in the logic.
I think Tucker Carlson saying that if you see a child with a mask, the parents should be arrested for child abuse, and that you should go up and rip the mask off is along the lines of the media giving permission for violence over masks... but to a different side than you're thinking.
Why couldn't you compete? Where was the expense in your system? Guessing, it was mostly the equipment to extract the waste heat, wasn't it? What if that equipment was 10 times cheaper, could you compete then? If you there was large demand for your system, you could produce your equipment in huge volumes, and bring down unit costs enormously, no?
> Or see: the New England states with high vaccination rates and a recent record surge in cases.

As a resident of New England, I've been expecting a fall surge for a while. In the north, we're all shutting windows and turning on our furnaces at night, which means much worse ventilation. The afternoons are still warm enough to socialize outside, but that will start to change in November. Followed by holiday travel. And we still have towns with low vaccination rates.

Our absolute numbers are still fairly low in many places, and we don't have people lined up in the corridors of the local hospitals.

> What matters isn't the case counts, it's the number of deaths that matter

I actually think that severe illness counts are important, too. I'll make some sacrifices to avoid hospitalization or merely being incapacitated for a couple weeks.
Getting closer to being a capitalist utopia. No retail stores, no theft. All items have to be ordered online, rule by code. It would be interesting to know the stores financial statements to see if this was just an excuse to get rid of the retail footprint due to sales & property tax in SF. The current building demand with low interest rates and COVID re-opening should more than compensate the remodeling costs.
But these aren't additional services, they were services already provided. Screen sharing is not a cloud-based service. 8GB of cloud storage is not something I would expect to have to pay for.
OSS projects can get away with it, but in some other environments – someone will review the release bill-of-materials, see the 0.x.x version, and complain "why hasn't team X adopted SemVer properly?"–or even worse, "Oh no, we are shipping an experimental pre-release version in the next release to customers!". Change the 0 to 1, complaint resolved – even if it is never changed again. No one can tell whether it should be 1 or 2 just by looking at a list of version numbers, they'd need to understand what the actual changes are in each component version, and they probably aren't going to do that.

I wonder why OSS projects bother with 0.x.x. If you are never going to change the initial 0 to something else, why not just drop it? So you can do whatever you want while paying lip service to SemVer? Why not just do whatever you want, and ignore SemVer entirely?
It's being done differently in Victoria. We can link our vaccination certificate to the Services Vic app and it's displayed as a QR code when we check in.
What do you mean by "rejected by HotJar"?
I've seen a business-critical system written in Cache ObjectScript and running on an InterSystems database - big liability and a struggle to get anyone who knows how to work with it.
That's actually part of the "full" Bredesen protocol, I read it in his book, and you're right it is a big part of slowing and reversing the Alzheimer's decline.
I don't believe the trope that retail makes razor thin margins. Considering most major retailers including Walgreens make profit hand over fist
> It never occurred to anyone to put together organized retail crime gangs and endlessly plunder local stores until they were all forced to close.

I'm not particularly invested in defending SF, but comparing shoplifting in a dense urban center to one of the least densely populated regions of the Eastern US doesn't make a ton of sense. It occurs to me that Appalachia has plenty of entrenched and even organized crime (moonshining being the historical one that comes to mind), but most of it doesn't involve hitting up the store you live a block from.
Monoclonal antibodies are already successfully being used. This is just a press release from another company wanting in on the action.

Honestly surprising why so few people know about the antibody therapy we already have, reduces death by 80 to 90 %. Also unclear why we still need vaccine mandates when we have a cure.

Both have managed versions but crdb has “run it yourself “ option as well as completely free version (missing chngefeeds and incremental backups i believe but other than that is pretty feature complete)
Sentry is very easy to self-host[1] on a single node with Docker Compose. They make it a little tricky to self-host with multiple nodes, but I assume their SaaS product can scale indefinitely.

I can't think of anything easier for error-tracking than Sentry, given its ability to automatically intercept exceptions in languages like Python. Sentry also has some automatic handling for stack traces, recording the state of Redis clusters and similar bits of infra, and redacting information that appears to be sensitive (e.g. such as database passwords).

A lot of the "personal carbon footprint" was driven by oil industry marketing campaigns in order to shift blame.

Then add in existing degrowth movements.
People flagrantly disregarding property rights is a "capitalist utopia"?
We still seem to have >1500 deaths/day in the US. Is treatment effective but not available? Or is it just not effective?
This is why I always get mad when people say something like "you are more likely to be struck by lightning than eaten by a shark!".... we'll, that REALLY depends on where you are.
Industry often works around the clock already. You don't want to buy and install three times the equipment you need, and have it sit idle 16 hours of the day. You also don't want to shut down for winter just because the electricity is less abundant then.
No kidding, I was threatened with legal action for significantly less shenanigans back in my day.

I'm not opposed to subscriptions but the terms here feel draconian. If you lose your reMarkable, your cloud backups give you access only to the files you used in the last 50 days? Am I reading this right?
Is your argument that COVID-19 does not impact the population directly in large numbers?
No, so I'd say that streaming has improved my quality of life.
in patient one they list fasting for extended periods of time and also "MCT effects" which refers to the administration of MCT oil. so in other words, this is a very convoluted way of doing what the ketogenic diet does. the fact that the ketogenic diet can reverse alzheimers in part or in full has been well established by Dr. Mary Newport. as well as it can be without support from the mainstream medical establishment -- they refuse to conduct proper studies on it out of sheer stupidity and stubbornness. i add "stupidity" because of how long theyve let the oversight go for.

ketosis does something to the immune system. in many people who have schizophrenia, touching the immune system sometimes has a direct impact on symptoms. there is a famous case of a young man whos symptoms went away after having his bone marrow removed as reported in the NYT. the articles goes on to connect many interesting cases and facts that orbit this idea. its official everyone, the NYT knows more about medicine than your doctor. another article, published by a practicing harvard psychiatrist in psychology today, presents three case studies of schizophrenics who go into remission upon entering ketosis. other people find fleeting relief after donating blood and thus diluting their blood. and blood dilution has been shown to directly impact tons of things at UCB especially things having to do with aging. its an indication of whats to come. our own bodies are producing inflammatory molecules that cause disease.

i have schizophrenia and i can say that these things are true and i have tested them.

whether AZ disease improvement upon entering ketosis is due to inflammation reduction or metabolic improvements due to using BHB rather than glucose in some cells, im not sure anyone knows.

i wonder if any doctor will stop to reflect on his own behaviour for a single second after he hears that the titan of AZ medications, which reduces plaques, does not fucking work? people like me have been saying for ages that AZ is caused by metabolic dysfunction and the plaques are a downstream artifact. well now the evidence against them and for me is so massive that they will have to write it in the sky. pure vindication.
This needs (2019) in the title since the post was written/published in 2019.
This article could really use an example of composition at the end to feel complete.
