This is the fundamental problem of our time. Trust has been traditionally built via personal relationships. But that doesn’t scale, and every attempt people have made to try to curb the bad actors at scale is a cat-and-mouse problem that is eventually worked around. So media influencers of dubious provenance can establish a following and there’s no credible voice with enough “engagement” to debunk them (the truth is boring), so they become the trusted source.

Nobody knows who to trust anymore. And until we solve that problem at global scale, the grifters and con men will rule the world.
Unless someone can show me how to generate a corner cube prism (one of the most technologically important prisms, and quite simple), this is coloring. I tried for a while.
As an observation not an argument, irrespective of what comes to be accepted as to the efficacy of ivermectin, there seem to be an awful lot of doctors and other professionals across the world prepared to trash their personal reputations & sometimes their careers if "claims about the drug are based on shoddy science—but that science is entirely unremarkable in its shoddiness." is true.
That's been tried.

Even in non-combat environments (McMurdo Station, Project Iceworm), proved nuclear power solutions (adaptations of naval reactors used successfully in submarines) have proved nonviable.

The risks of a reactor in a live-fire zone are ... considerable.
Can anyone provide any additional info on what exactly these "climate activists" were responsible for doing?
I just mean that typically these communities require you to do some form of manual labor to "take care of" the housing or making food. Nevermind that you might be able to do the same thing on your own land in your own time and come away doing less work on average then if you're forceably conscripted to do these tasks for the community. It's not at all about what type of technology you'd use to do the task but rather having to do it at all.
Right, same as how the BSDs are just themselves (natively, that is; things like Debian kFreeBSD loop back to being GNU/kFreeBSD or so). Linux is actually pretty rare in being just the kernel.
I think the point of the article is that if some government DID spend the money to properly research this, it would take time, as in MANY years. I remember many decades ago that Vitamin E was thought to be a great supplement to reduce coronary heart disease etc. It was then studied by following 10,000 people for 4.5 years [1] and it was determined that the hint of benefit seen in observational studies turned out to be false hope. So with much time and money, it could be found that there is benefit in ivermectin. But the current state is that the FDA [2] and CDC [2] recommend AGAINST ivermectin use for treatment or prevention of SARS-COV2 infection / Covid-19.

Like the article says: science is slow, pandemics are fast.

I see where you're coming from, but I don't think this is quite the right distinction.

Asymptomatic infection, and presymptomatic infection, are both forms of infection. However, yes, they differ from symptomatic infection in terms of severity, no doubt due to lesser viral load.

The distinction I would personally make is exposed vs infected. Being exposed to a virus doesn't mean you'll get infected, where infection is quantifiable tested with a PCR test.
For the text variant, it just parses the year field as an integer, so leading zeroes would generate the same year value as if you'd omitted them.
Imagine that you are creating a new patented drug that you could charge a lot and the whole govts in the world needed.

Then have this other drug without patent that could do the same? or 80%?

People got enraged about the Epi-Pen patent price gouging years back imagine what would happen if some rigorous study confirm that ivermectin is as good as or better?

This is a sample on how media distorts the narrative.

I want to like tags for personal use, but they always seem to fail at scale. The best experience I’ve had with tags was the old Flickr, where most of the work of tagging was done by other people.

I now find that, in practice, the problem of “file that logically belongs in more than one folder” occurs rarely enough that I can solve it by creating a README.txt file in the secondary location containing a note pointing to where the primary location is.

This is wrong in two important ways.

1. The vaccine does not stay in your muscle - obviously. It spreads out from the muscle slowly and does indeed enter your blood stream.

2. It is not put spike protein. It is an exposed spike protein on a larger stable "base" that ensures the spike doesn't degrade easily - so while it's smaller than the virus, the entire vaccine protein is significantly larger than just the spike.

I find traffic in LA is extremely chilled. For example, on the smaller roads turning cars yield to pedestrians always (at least in the more affluent areas). This is pretty unique. I've lived in big cities in four different countries and LA traffic is the most relaxed i've found anywhere.
I occasionally find myself wanting to search a data stream using a large-ish set (a few tens or hundreds of thousands) of regexes. This is very slow with a backtracking engine like PCRE, but ought to be pretty fast with a DFA-based engine like re2.

So far, I have been unsuccessful in finding a grep replacement that can read patterns from a file, and which also uses a DFA engine. Does one exist? From the table, it looks like ripgrep might be suitable. Is it?
I think OP was complaining about the vox pop rather than the report of the hack or outage (which is newsworthy)

It’s safer as a news writer to report “X says Foo” rather than “Foo”. It’s a sad reflection of the times.

Even accepting that though, They could have stated “there were anecdotal reports of outages over the last few days” (I wouldn’t personally as it’s just hearsay), but there is a belief (presumably backed by some research) that people like “human elements”. I certainly don’t, but I’m not normal.

Additionally, by mentioning a shithole like Stoke (my local city) it also helps convey the idea that the BbC isn’t just a London organisation for London people, and is relevant to C2DEs. Again I’m not convinced, but I can appreciate the problem the BbC has.
As an American growing up in a suburb on a 1/2 acre, these numbers aren't making any sense to me; 175 acres should support at least 175 families

and each 1/2 acre should be able to support a small business and garden plot on those resources, and eco erosion controls, streams and wetlands... If of a even slightly conservative mindset.
So this is a little funny, but I just got my Thinkpad X1 Carbon a few days ago with Fedora preinstalled. I booted it up to the Fedora installation, then the machine rebooted. After it rebooted, a Windows loading screen appeared, followed by a pop-up DOS prompt that entered some commands, followed by another reboot into the Fedora installation.

I haven't seen any evidence of Windows since, but that creeped me out. Can anyone explain what was going on, there?

Also, of course, I had to completely wipe the hard drive and install my own version of Fedora to be totally comfortable after that.

I am fully in support for full-remote work as a policy, as I view WFH as right or at least an advancement that has been needlessly deprived from many white collar professions for a long time.

That said, I personally would not mind some in-office work, even only one day or two days a week, or even alternating in-person weeks. WFH feels incredibly isolating at times.

I think the unique and extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic have been incredibly limiting, leading people to feel trapped. Hence it’s obvious why people rebel against being in-office, but also explains why the people who didn’t mind working in person now bristle against full-remote. Zoom fatigue and the isolation of full digital existence also contributes towards the demand for full-office.

It will be interesting to see how this changes after the pandemic, when more freedom and flexibility hopefully returns to the workplace.

> Buy hardware that your software supports

That was the author's point. Hardware manufacturers should sell hardware and provide detailed specs. If they're not providing specs, they're failing their mission and just releasing crappy binary drivers for Windows which may or may not work in the future, and require reverse engineering for other systems to support.

Just respect standards and/or publish your datasheets. That should be a requirement to sell any kind of hardware. I can't believe it's legal for a company to sell a washing machine without schematics, even less so an entire computer!

If the hardware manufacturers don't publish docs/schematics, then systems can't support the hardware and we end up in this special hell-hole that IT hardware industry has been stuck in for about two decades now.
They said than only some systems were affected, nothing to worry about.

Do you have any links for the homelessness is a solved problem claim? While I’ve seen societies that have reduced the problem, I haven’t seen any that have solved the problem - at least if they are bigger than ‘toy’ populations.

Plenty of places pretending they solved the problem by shipping people to jail or similar if they refuse to live somewhere the authorities demand they do.

That said, SF is pretty much a poster child for almost worst case homelessness (and if adjusted by regional per capita income may legitimately be the worst).

I guess part of the difficulty is what exactly the definition of ‘the problem’ in ‘the homeless problem’ means seems to vary a lot by person, and most of the plans or influence here are coming from people who are quite explicitly not homeless, which is the group being ‘helped’. Which sets up some serious moral hazards.
That's actually a problem. Too simple, too convenient, too easily portable.

Investors hate this.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Facebook's and Alphabet's stocks rise up the day they announce that they will stop allowing HTPP clients to reach their endpoints :)
It's free for individuals.
I believe that the intelligence of a system can be greater than the sum of its parts. The individuals don't necessarily need to explicitly conspire together. All it takes is one or two influential people behind the scenes who see a possible problem or a possible opportunity and start gently tugging the strings in the direction they want. The puppets don't need to understand what they're doing. It works better if they don't.
This is only possible on Firefox Nightly, and you have to install them by making a Mozilla account and creating extension collections[0].

This is frustrating to do, when the desktop site didn't allow me to add a mobile-only extension[1] and I had to figure out how to do so by modifying HTTP requests. This is a reversion from older Firefox versions, where you could install any extension via the web store as you would on desktop.

Why do this? Should i read that the format isn't ready? Is there going to be a mailing list of format enthusiast? Are you planning on releasing a V2022 next year and every year? More use-case specific derivatives?

All a format needs is 3 short examples, a language definition, and a link to an implementation.

Everything else lowers my expectation and its appeal.

> YAML and its "Arrays" are really broken.

Agreed. YAML does have some use cases. I find it useful when I want to manually write lots of JSON data for test scripts. But the format, because it tries to be concise, ends up to be hard to manually parse.

I don't consider YAML a good serialisation format.
Yes, that's what I meant. Their aim is to bring real world data to smart contracts such as "package has arrived". Not sure if chainlink has actually achieved anything concrete though.

And yet you find very little information about the actual hardware in recent Lenovos. For example, i had the unpleasant surprise to discover that M.2 2242 in modern Thinkpads only supports wireless cards, and that i had just purchased a rare-to-find (in my area) 2242 SSD for nothing.

Don't even get me started on how ** the hardware is now to open and replace parts, compared to my previous T60. (soldered RAM? really?)

EDIT: I'm not at all claiming other mainstream vendors are any better. I've never found any decent hardware besides old Thinkpads and Macs.

Yes, I used a single uberjar for the first year or so, but then it got a bit more involved, because of delivery optimizations (nginx, brotli, precompressed files, versioned immutable static content with infinite cacheability, etc). So these days it's an uberjar (AOT-compiled) plus a bunch of files, essentially.

The servers are managed using ansible, and I also have a terraform setup for quickly spinning up a development cluster "in the cloud". Ansible takes a list of servers either from a static file or from terraform.

This restriction is very subjective. For example APL and its descendants can be thought as golfed by default (indeed they tend to be far shorter in competitive golfing, see for example [1]).

Disclaimer: I am a Red Hatter. We get Thinkpads/Lenovos since years, we install RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) or Fedora on them. I started back a long time ago with a X31, after that a X40, an X220, a X230, X1 2nd gen and am now on a X1 carbon 7th gen. They have been rock solid for me, except the x220 which loved to bork the hard drive for unknown reasons every 4-6 months.

Lenovo has listened and acted on our requests in a very good way, the Linux support has become better and better over the years, IMHO and experience.

Seemingly low I’d think. On the bike bus they’ve got hundreds of kids and parents around them and a police escort, so it’s not a normal biking situation. Plus parents likely are teaching kids bike safety.

Biking in this bus formation and biking normally are separate enough that it doesn’t seem to be a concern. IMO that’s like asking if kids don’t where seat belts on a normal bus, are they then at risk of not wearing seat belts in normal cars?
