As for my examples, they were hit by COVID a month before vaccines were made available to them

Vaccines work when a significant part of the population has them, if workplaces and schools can institute vaccine mandates against diseases like Diphtheria, Measles, Rubella etc. Why should a disease much more infectious than them not get a mandate?

For a stark example see this thread
https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/571113104920027136?t=r...

If someone has access to the vaccine in their area and have not taken it yet for any reason other than a medical reason should really do some proper "research" and get it ASAP.

As a vaccinated person, why you should care or not other people get vaccinated or not?

1. Less reservoirs for viruses to mutate into more harmful strains.

2. There are people who are immunocompromised , who cannot take vaccines . They are protected by those who are healthy and have been vaccinated.

3. >90% of all recent COVID deaths in the US have been of unvaccinated persons. A non trivial percent of the vaccinated dead by COVID were immunocompromised who were infected by unvaccinated folks.

If these reasons cannot convince you, I don't know what can.

I'm thinking of some wonderful posts describing where/when/why linear regression can offer performance which is very close to the best from a NN-- except that regression models train much faster on much less data AND are interpretable.

Some discussion about how a NN works well for data where there is a lot of (statistical) structure to the data-- two close pixels in an image are likely to have very similar color/luminosity (and if not, the difference is important to the model, i.e. an 'edge'). But that NN don't do as well in a domain where the different features of the data don't have such relationships, say an econometric model or many biological models or ...

The main takeaway:

The 10X solution to solving the Law of Shitty Clickthroughs, even momentarily, is to discover the next untapped marketing channel. In addition to doubling down on traditional forms of online advertising like banners, search, and email, it’s important to work hard to get to the next marketing channel while it’s uncontested.

My recollection from circa 2013 is that Node.js at least used to use the nginx HTTP parser, which was a horror of manually-implemented state machine written so in the name of performance, but consequently basically unmaintainable and fairly bug-riddled. And not as fast as it should have been, anyway. (The state machine approach is fine, but it should have used a lot more code generation.) It read the method byte by byte into the state machine, and baulked at unknown methods. Evidently they’ve kept that limitation, whatever they may have changed since in the parser they use (and I think nginx did eventually abandon and replace that parser entirely).

(These are my recollections from investigation I did back in 2013 when I was writing the first serious Rust HTTP library.)
If I were to make a guess, I would say that the Heritage Foundation thinks that all funding of GotV efforts are bad and should be illegal. They are not really fans of enfranchisement beyond the elite they serve. While Republicans have money, it is a commonly held belief that almost all increases in participation by infrequent voters (or eligible but unregistered voters) tends to favor the Democratic party. If the benefit goes to the other party then there is no reason for Republicans to spend in this particular area.
Lisp is not necessarily functional. There's a lot of mutation in Common Lisp even if the community favors a functional style.

I think the question is: how does Lisp function without garbage collecting cons cells?

For one, I'm not sure they even rely on cons cells like "real" Lisp. Clojure doesn't either. They cite ML as inspiration.

Carp language guide states object lifetimes are statically inferred [1] which my guess is they allocate on stack (or malloc/free by scope) and detect use-after-free at compile time.

Another, more theoretical approach is using linear types which require all values to be "consumed" [2]

Have you ever stopped to think about HOW MUCH wider the DOF is when you stop down on a DSLR? Because when it comes to macro, the answer is "usually not enough", even at f/22. And at such small apertures, diffraction becomes a big issue.

As an occasional, non-professional programmer, I used to agree. But now that i started with Rust, i realized good docs are just as good (for me) as a full-fledged IDE, easier to implement, and more portable (i can read HTML docs from any computer).

I really love how `cargo doc` for rust programs allows you to generate offline docs (with search index/bar) for your current project and all dependencies.

Posting in case people haven’t come across this advice: the trick to a two sided market startup is usually to find a way to provide value to one side without the other side being present.

So, for example, you build a free platform that helps remote contractors manage their hours, billing, invoices, leads etc.

Then, once you’ve built up an audience of contractors you say to the companies “hey, I have a million people working on here, I think they’d be interested in job opportunities, so I’ve made an opt in jobs board / newsletter” and go from there.

Of course, it might not succeed, but AFAICT this is the general strategy for solving this problem.
I do the same, I feel like a simple VPS is a lot easier to manage and less prone to failures than a "cloud" provider. Normally the push-back is "what if it fails, what if you need to scale, etc.", but so far no VPS failed on me (even if it did, you can just use backups and restore with a bit of downtime) and the scaling part can be solved through a good horizontal-scaling server architecture, instead of relying on the cloud to automatically do that for you (which anyway still requires your architecture to support horizontal scaling).

Multicopters are mechanically simpler than helicopters and thus can be cheaper. Assuming that power system is electric, they are easier to control. Because of the rotor redundancy they can continue flight even after losing several engines/blades, while losing engine on helicopter requires to perform autorotation landing, which is far from trivial. Also smaller blade size results in lower noise levels, which is important in urban settings.

If we are talking about efficiency at longer distances with VTOL capability, then convertiplanes are more efficient than helicopters.
Multicopters are subclass of helicopters. Drones are unmanned (air)craft, which can rotor or fixed-wing based.

The interesting part to me regarding ASML and the Chinese:

This means they're effectively barred from purchasing advanced lithography equipment, as the US government has also ensured that ASML won't sell any EUV machines to Chinese companies, at least for now. ASML CEO Peter Wennink doesn't think this strategy will ultimately bode well for the US economy, as he believes China has both the drive and the means to make progress on its own while non-Chinese economies will suffer a loss of jobs and income. And you only need to look at YMTC's recent 128-layer 3D NAND success to understand that he's right.

Digital Transformation: Automatic Counting in the Plastic Industry
I understand what you’re saying but outside some circles ( quite large nowadays), Windows is still king by a mile, specifically with people entering this world who do not have the means to spend 2k on a silver machine made of magic. Starting dev is something that happens very casually with no commitment, so you start with what you have.
It is human nature to detest regulation in general but insist upon it after the fact of some failure. This can be easily illustrated with automobile speed limits. Almost everyone would be outraged if they were ticketed for driving 2 k/mph over the posted limit. It is a widely held belief that drivers traveling at or just below the maximum limit pose a safety risk because they are too slow. An officer who rigorously enforced posted speed limits would get run out of town. But who's to blame when the officer looks the other way and it results in a crash?

Well it is! Tech companies should not act as surveillance/intelligence companies: stop gathering personal info on people, and suddenly you've raised the bar considerably for spies to harm your users.

Just for anyone coming to this who, like me, assumed that "IBM Cheese Cutter" was a nickname for some 1970s bit of computer hardware that hung off the side of an S/360.

This is a device for cutting big round "wheels" of cheese. It dates from the 1910s, and would have been used in retail outlets selling cheese. In those days cheese was sold wholesale in big "wheels": round blocks of cheese weighing maybe 70 or 80 lb. (High-end cheese is still sold this way, if you really want to buy that much of it).

A retail customer would ask the counter-clerk for 6 oz of Gorgonzola, and he would pull out one of these big wheels, probably with a segment already cut out for previous customers, and slice off 6 oz.

Problem: how to get exactly 6 oz first time. Customers don't want a couple of little chunks added to make up the weight, and slicing off chunks from what you cut to bring the weight back down is wasteful because nobody wants the scraps. Solution: this machine. It has a lever for setting the original weight of the wheel, and another for the weight the customer wants. A nifty bit of mechanical analogue computer underneath rotates the cheese by exactly the right amount.

> There is no reason to believe that Twitter did anything wrong, and excellent reason to believe they didn't.

Why do they ask for personal information in the first place? Why are DM messages not e2e-encrypted? That's plenty of wrong already.

If you're building a public/global microblogging platform, enable nicknames for all and never ask for any personal information. If you're building a private messenger, enable e2e encryption (or at least at-rest inbox encryption).

If you're building both, and ignoring all security best practices, and encouraging people to give away their phone numbers, i would hold you responsible to any harm that comes their way because of this.
As a Xoogler it's always seemed weird to me how Kubernetes was compared to Borg. Kubernetes covers a much larger set of things than Borg alone, and I don't necessarily think that's for the better. Being written in a language that isn't well-suited to large projects and refactoring efforts doesn't help either.

Nowadays I don't have use-cases for either, but from playing around with Nomad it felt a lot more "Borg-y" than Kubernetes ever did to me. I rarely hear anything about the Hashicorp alternative for service discovery and such though, so it would be interesting how that compares.
