> Even if vaccinated, Delta still retains effective transmutability, though (maybe?) to a reduced degree even for fully vaccinated individuals.

If vaccine works to protect people who are vaccinated, but does not significantly reduce transmissibility, why force it on people who don't care about being protected? Do they not have a right to make their own choices when it comes to their own bodies? If not, why do we want to give people right to choose taking drugs, given their highly detrimental effects on their bodies and on their lives, in addition to high risk of overdose and death? This all seems completely incoherent to me.
CDC's New 'Best Estimate' Implies a Covid-19 Infection Fatality Rate Below 0.3%
I'm sorry you had to put up with a hippocratic oaf. This should never have happened.
Most (if not all) languages are compiled or interpreted in two stages: first the code is parsed (a.k.a. lexed, tokenized) to an internal representation (usually called "Abstract Syntax Tree", or AST), which just means translating something like ">" to "GREATER_THAN_SYMBOL", "5" to NUMBER, etc. and storing this in some data structure. This is also where you usually detect syntax errors like forgetting to use " to close a string and such.

In Go, you can do this fairly easily with the go/ast package.

Then you take the AST and do something with it. That something can be compiling the code, but also writing some sort of tooling like a linter, or identifier rename tool, or generate documentation from it, or whatnot. When compiling the code you need the type information, for a lot of other purposes you don't really care.

It's pretty valuable to keep the parsing as simple as possible; it makes it easier to detect errors, improves the quality of the error messages, and makes it easier to write tooling. It also keeps the code a lot simpler, easier to understand and modify, etc.
Personally, I'm using the available resources to try and catch some rain water. A lot less risky than the open ocean --- which will still leave you with a water problem.
I don't understand this move. As much as Facebook has tarnished the Oculus brand, it still had positive attachment among longtime VR users and enthusiasts. For me the 'Meta' brand is linked more strongly with Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg, in an overwhelmingly negative sense, than with Oculus or VR.
If you think Uber sucks for society, you should have seen taxis before Uber was a thing, my god what a nightmare. I’m willing to bet Uber has saved 10s of thousands of lives from drunk driving accidents alone solely because they made getting a ride effortless.
It’s as if a majority lost the ability to think critically, choosing instead to tilt at the windmills of incessant fear propaganda from media/social media, usually lacking any context to assuage that fear.
Yes, the degree "free will"/willpower factors into a decision is much more of a spectrum than a binary. I'm just pointing out that drug addiction shifts your decisions away from the free will end of the spectrum.
I'm not sure why, but this feels like an accusatory response and uncharitable take on their statement.

Establishing boundaries like "don't interrupt the person who's working" needs to be a discussion that happens between the whole family. Of course, the caregiver will be responsible for the physical enforcement but the caregiver should understand that it is in the long-term best interest of the whole family that the worker is able to have uninterrupted work time.

Also, by the age of 4 most kids are capable of understanding and learning to respect boundaries.

Trivum: the singular of "trivia" is "trivium".

And "trivia" is appropriate to an article on education, as it is from the Trivium, which is to say, the first of two parts of medaeval scholastic education: the trivium and the quadrivum, together comprising the seven liberal arts.

The trivium is grammar, logic, and rhetoric. You might think of these as input, processing, and output.

The quadrivium is arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. Or quantity, quantity in space, quantity in time, and quantity in space and time.

And now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast ...

I can't think of a more ceremonious way to kill a brand to hold an event announcing that the entire company was pivoting to do what that small piece of it did before, and that to monumentalize that change you were renaming the company...

It's... literally a ceremony... and not a small one.
That was very much guided evolution though - elephants without tusks get spared, the others get killed for the tusks. There’s nothing like that happening with humans at a population scale, outside the realm of conspiracy theories

I completely agree and hope apple gets pushed around until it opens up the hardware. I don't care (from a practical, non philosophical level) about APIs or federation or interoperable clients as long as i can just try something new. I have yet to find a single person who can talk with me over Matrix but a dozen who prefer signal.
>Why do you think the same five guys make it to the final table of the World Series of Poker every year? What, are they the luckiest guys in Las Vegas?

But that's exactly my point. Zuckerberg isn't starting fresh every year. That's the sort of comparison I'd love to see. He's a guy who won very big based on some lucky choices at 19. And he's never started a fresh tournament since.

In contrast, look at Steve Jobs. He's a fine example of "Once you're lucky, twice you're good." And more than twice, really. Started Apple, got pushed to the side Created the Macintosh and the LaserWriter and got booted. Helped get Pixar going. Started NeXT, which was a relative failure, but whose tech set him up nicely for an acquisition. Acquihired back at Apple and turned it into the juggernaut it is today. Say what you want about him, and I'll say plenty negative, but he clearly has skills.

That's the kind of writeup I'm looking for about Zuckerberg. That all I'm getting is bluster and "but he's very rich" is its own kind of answer, I guess.

> We're talking about business acumen

Yes, we are. But your definition is a relatively narrow one where dominance and profit are the only measures of business success. I get why that's a popular definition here. But even here, it's not the only one. If the public markets are all that matter to you, fine, but at least try to recognize their are other criteria.
Now we just need someone to write a machine proof of correctness.
I haven’t used Apple Card, but it was apparent when I financed with their previous partner Barclays that they had their own say at least in the application and approval process. It was wildly different from applying for credit in any other scenario I’ve experienced. They’re clearly backed by other credit vendors but that doesn’t mean they’re not operating their own financial institution.
It set off the flamewar detector. I've turned that off now.

So the way it worked out with marijuana is the legal stuff is a lot more expensive than the street stuff. Maybe it would be different with meth, but I'm not sure why.

https://www.inverse.com/article/39899-recreational-weed-cali...

Basically the whole legal drug movement is targeted at non-addicts to let them pay a premium for a sanitary, legal, controlled experience. The political justifications for the movement are all about harm reduction. But the reality is that if you are an apothecary in SF, you don't really want junkies hanging out in your lobby, for the same reason that communities don't want junkies in their streets. Mental problems, theft, possible violence, behavioral issues -- it would chase away paying customers, and impose security and liability costs on them.

Those unwilling to pay for that more civilized experience go to the street. One important thing to remember is that legalization did not destroy the illegal market. They are different markets, although there is certainly overlap.

> Trying to upgrade my Comcast modem to IPv6 gave me a device that hard crashed every 6 days to 1 month,

Could be worse. The CenturyLink CPE I had would crash and reboot if a fragmented ipv6 packet touched it. The replacement didn't do that, but had some trigger that ended up with massive extra latency.
yeah but we can't expect regular people to be able to do that.
That's a lovely phrase. I actually use showertime to observe a different aspect of the sensory experience everyday; the touch of the water as it moves around, the sounds of water and soapbar moving, etc. On some days it can be a complete break from thinking about anything and just observing this flow.
> In this respect, I think there is just no way to have both parents 100% working at home with a kid needing attention

We were able to achieve this during covid with two kids doing distance learning as well. However, we were extremely fortunate that we were able to do shifts where my wife worked 7-3ish and I worked 3-midnight.
I guess I'm a little confused by your answer - are peptides nootropics or sensation-type experiences? I guess I perceive nootropics as like "become smarter" or "having better recall" but this answer makes it seem like a recreational time bound physical experience? I also could see how the mental and physical have blurred boundaries.
We know this from the congressional hearings - its hardly insightful.

Very few can handle bad actors at the scale they have to. But no they were clearly not ready. Not sure what tech company really showed success at this sort of scale. Twitter could barely stay above their toxic sludge of content, Youtube is even more full of misinformation, reddit is not free of controversial decisions - hell, even good ol' SMS and phone is a heap of robocalls and spam.

A) the article is wrong, the limit was at truck yards, not the port

The hygiene problems alone in two people "living" in a Cessna 172 for that period of time made me cringe. If you've never been in a Cessna 172, imagine two people living in a 1993 Toyota Corolla. It's a little bit smaller than that.
I thought maximizing ROE is rather 'old-school' nowadays.

Most businesses I know tend to strive for growing market share and revenue. They are even willing to run the business in the red for that.
So the genetic diversity of the tiny California Condor population is even lower than it would seem from raw number, because an unknown number of the males are effectively clones of the mother. But if a single female can pioneer a new territory without a mate, that might compensate for the diversity loss. If a near clone of the mother is viable often enough, perhaps the offspring of mother and son would be too.

If some dinosaurs were parthenogenic too we could possibly reboot a species from a single female.

With technological assistance we are close to becoming a parthenogenic species ourselves, which could be quite useful when we start launching interstellar arks. But our parthanotes don't have to be limited to the parent's alleles.
You're not trying to imply that that is the cause of the current global warming, are you?

For such a system to function, there must be one superpower, rather than two.

The US has clearly emerged as the one superpower in the aftermath of the soviet dissolution. But China has now emerged as a potential competitor to the superpower status (they've basically replaced the soviets in this model). They haven't yet reached the same level, but will soon according to all modeling and prediction.

I do believe that it is the US's hope, in the clinton administration, to have china's market economy open up, and thus, allow western "democratic" culture seep in (ala, like japan and korea - but without having a war to start with). This certainly, and clearly has failed now. China do not want to be "subservient" to the US superpower like the other westernized asian nations.
I didn't take it that way. They're just pointing out that it's impossible to set those boundaries with young children. The poster they're replying to has a full time stay-at-home spouse providing for the kids during the day so they don't have to be interrupted, yet they're implying it's something that anyone could easily do. A 4 year old might not be capable of leaving you alone for a solid hour as time seems to pass glacially slow to someone at that age. Telling them to leave you alone for an hour is like telling your wife to leave you alone for 48 hours.
"Meta". Could be more dystopian, still I am not disappointed. "Alphabet" is still scarier.
Are those cheap? Not being sarcastic. I honestly don't know if they're selling those at a loss. I bought my Sony Smart TV 4 years ago. I don't get any ads. It's got some apps like Youtube, Netflix, Stan etc. and that's it. No ads whatsoever.
> The Maybe type constructor is predefined by Haskell as [...]

It's hard for me to imagine a reader that understands the rest of this jargon, presented without explanation, who does not know what `Maybe` is.
This is the problem (at least for me). It's the same as so many products (free ones especially), people care more about price than anything else, so businesses are incentivized to produce cheaper, ad supported lineups, and inevitably nobody buys a more expensive, ad-free version. It's the same for airfares (people would rather pay less and be treated like crap than get to be a human for a bit more), shopping (get treated like cattle at walmart but save $.5 on hotdogs or whatever).

With ads there is also the idea that the rates you can charge for ads are much lower if you let people pay to opt out, because basically you've pre-segmented for the cheapskates, when advertisers would like to advertise to those with money.

Bottom line, we're screwed
If you can't make predictions then you don't have understanding, you just have a bunch of verbiage.

Seems to me like people just aren't sharing the wisdom enough about how to do these things both responsibly and efficiently.

We used just use cloth diapers, put them in a diaper-only load in our washing machine, dry them in the dryer, and it worked fine.

Scraping? We just used a sprayer attached to the toilet, held in a little clip thing that keeps the spray contained. Stuff went in the toilet, mostly-clean diaper goes in the pail.

We also did "elmination communication" part-time. Just literally set the kid over the potty around the right amount of time after eating, and each time we take diaper off, and if it looks like they're about to go. It wasn't lots of extra work, and around 6-months, we had maybe half the times just going in the potty without needing to deal with a dirty diaper at all.

The entire problem is that our society is set up for the disposable approach and you rarely even know anyone in person who can guide you through managing it better, so we all figure it out for ourselves using the internet. But like, the one other family we told about what we were doing it just followed our lead and had total success too. And kids end up fully potty trained before 2yo.

It takes more than just good intentions, it takes sharing the wisdom more. Companies that profit off of a disposable economy work to get attention instead of the better wisdom we could be sharing with one another.

In Factorio, the part where the human "interacts" with the factory is given a name, called "The Mall". (You ship all of the products that the human intends to use to a central location).

You do have a nominal amount of supplies buffered up in the mall, but only as much as you ever expect the human (ie: yourself) to ever use at any given time.

Let me discuss the Belt hiearchy. Belts are used to move items around the factory, but are used relatively unpredictably.

Iron makes gears. Iron + Gears make Yellow Belts (slow). Yellow belts + Gears make Red Belts. Red Belts + Lubricant + Gears make Blue belts (fastest belts).

Lets say you're at endgame, so you'll only be using blue belts (very expensive, but useful to the human to have fewer "SKUs" so to speak to think about. Yellow/Red belts save on material but blue belts are best, so you end up just "eating the cost" in most cases).

There's really only one item you should buffer: blue belts. All other components (gears, yellow-belts, red belts, and lubrican) should be made on a "just in time", 0-buffer solution if at all possible.

Yellow-belts and Gears are furthermore used in other items: such as underground belts, splitters (for belts), or inserters / assembly machines / automated turrets (gears). Buffering up gears "at your belt factory" starves your other factories (ie: buffering up 1000 gears at the belt-factory means that your turret-factory will be starved and idle)
The phone is a bad example. It was a shitty phone. There was absolutely no advantage to using it.

Why not just let me download my property as a file. I can store it in cloud storage, sd card, etc, i can email it to a friend, and can change it without worrying about hashes changing.

I can just upload my *.loot file, and get it anywhere.

The only "good" thing this does is enforce a way to ensure users pay. Eg. Blizzard can't ensure i bought that new skin for my avatar if i'm just uploading a file, but by transferring an NFT or whatever they can. I would rather not use new-age DRM in my metaverse.

Lexing/tokenization doesn't produce an AST; it produces a token stream. Parsing (which may or may not be preceded by lexing) produces an AST.
This was a standard convention in 17th/18th century novels -- it's not just Defoe. A lot of authors played with this convention by describing chapters in a technically accurate but misleading fashion.
You sound like a junior manager. Experienced managers know resource management doesn’t work like that. Here’s the deal: 90% of all development tasks can be done by junior developers. But there’s two problems with your line of thought. One, you can’t always recognize a priori what that 10% is. The junior devs certainly won’t know when they’re in over their heads and their pride will keep them from calling for help. That 10% is going to get really expensive. Your other problem is junior devs aren’t going to be nearly as efficient at completing the 90% and they’re not going to do it as well - meaning there will be additional operating costs down the road.

Instead of thinking of junior devs as cheap development resources, think of them as your depth in talent. They can do the easier tasks and cover when somebody is out for whatever reason. Manage your team like a GM would a sports team.
The reason that Apple had to buy NeXT was that they were absolutely failing internally to innovate. They tried for years to build a next-generation OS and were incapable. The acquisition was not a sign of success, but desperation.

Indeed, part of that acquisition was firing the then-current CEO. So as an example, I think it better serves to point out why we should question Zuckerberg's performance.
We might be using the wrong metric.

Moving away from standards won't make it any easier to diversify our operating system choices. Standards compliance is what allows alternatives to be usable with existing software.

A lack of alternatives simply means that not enough standardization is happening, and we need more standards compliance.
The boundary that the OP needs to enforce is actually with the caregiver more than the children (although even young children are capable of learning and respecting boundaries). The caregiver needs to buy into the fact that it's beneficial for the bread winner of the family to have uninterrupted work periods.

When I read your statement it feels like you're saying you think the OP is just throwing proclamations over the wall rather than sitting down and having a family discussion about how to ensure the day is arranged in everyone's best interest.
Cannabinoids are a promising future treatment for depression; however, right now they are unproven.

I'd love to understand your point of view a bit more. What do you mean by "context sensitivity"? Symex isn't context-sensitive in general and operates much like Vim/Evil in terms of consistency (e.g. you can define repeatable macros). Are you thinking of Lispy, which makes heavy use of context (and is certainly clever)? Re: the commands being second nature, that is very much a goal, and if there's something that could be better here for holdouts like yourself, I'd love to understand what that might be.
