One way someone whom you label above as an “underperformer” can make themselves more valuable to the team us by taking work that others don’t want to do. One way they can close some of their performance gap is by working more. Both of those could easily be a perfectly rational and voluntary response to preserve their job.

You're lucky, or chose well. For me, I would have to commute 50 minutes, 35 minutes of which is by train, and I have to change once. The rest is walking and waiting time. And 50 minutes is the best case scenario. Add rain, snow and other delays and we're looking at upwards of an hour just so I can get into work.

On the other hand I have my desk at home with the coffee machine in the kitchen. I do enjoy going to the office but being forced to do it wouldn't sit well with me.

> What tangible thing does systemd do that hurts your usage of the OS?

Well, binary logging, for a start. Usurping DNS.

Actually, let's not go down that path - it would be a long argument, and I've already lost it, years ago.

> would you ever notice that I have done that?

Umm, yes.

My case isn't that systemd is bad; it's that I objected to Debian making systemd the default init, and that it's not very easy to make a non-default init the active init. I have a preference, I don't think I have to justify it, but the Debian change made it hard for me to exercise that preference. That's all.

This is the real corruption here. No way to make a thorough clean-up of 16 billion gallons of toxic waste water with that amount of money, let alone compensate the victims. Do you think this is justice? Do you think this agreement didn't deserve to be overturned? Is that what you're defending? Meanwhile Chevron's lawsuit against Donzinger ended up in a several million dollars fine against a single individual.

Indeed, it's a wonder any semblance of justice is ever done in this world.

I know what toki pona is. Just like Delphi, you find little roadblocks. License problem here, can't legally give it to friend, can't put it on your website. These are all completely artificial problems that simply don't exist in free languages. That's why Delphi failed despite being superior at the time and that's why toki pona will fail.

You are knee deep in a cow piss on a remote farm in Nebraska, offline and some library has some version issue with your proprietary licensed language.

Study carried out in the UK in Sep-Oct 2021 with 602 community contacts of 471 COVID cases.

Findings:

- Being vaccinated reduces the rate of catching the delta variant from a household contact from 38% to 25%.

- Being vaccinated reduces the rate of trasmitting the delta variant to a household contact from 25% to 23%.

- Vaccination does not significantly change the peak viral load, but does correlate with faster viral load decline.

Interesting comparison with this study [0] from April - around the time that Delta was just beginning to spread in the UK [1] - which suggests that even a single dose of vaccine reduces the change of household transmission up to 50%.

My main takeaway: vaccination is less effective against delta, but still worth it.

Your argument is wrong. The function that encodes every Integer as an element of Cantor, the one you call `p`, has signature `p: Integer -> Cantor`. This means that the compositions `(f.p)` and `(g.p)` are not defined. The compositions in the opposite order, `(p.f)` and `(p.g)`, are defined, but have signature `Integer->Cantor`, which is not in the form `Cantor->y`.

Your comment, "the post gets around this by only looking at the first n elements of every binary sequence" is also wrong. This is not at all what the `equal` function does.

I'd say he was mostly correct about the causes, but the thing to remember is that this situation is not going to be with us forever. It's going to last a year maybe two at most and then after that it's business as usual, the companies that have the least spare capacity will win out again and everyone will forget the post covid supply chain issues. So no I don't don't think we'll see much more investment in excess capacity. What it has highlighted however is the over reliance on certain geographical locations for manufacturing, especially key electronics components and the problems it caused. Expect certain items to be manufactured closer to key markets now or to be branded strategically important so that government aid can be provided to them to keep them going.
If you have some spare time, maybe try learning a new keyboard layout and be intent on learning the right fingering. I never properly learned to use all my fingers on QWERTY, but I picked up Carpalx[1] and with 1h a day of deliberate practice on TypeRacer and keybr.com[2] I managed to get to the same speed I've always typed on QWERTY (~70-90 WPM) after about a week. Since then I haven't really practiced that much and progress has definitely slowed down but I still "naturally" got slightly faster than I was (I occasionally reach 120 WPM) and I always do see a tiny improvement when I practice again. It's also interesting that due to using fingers differently I can easily mentally switch between "QWERTY mode" and "Carpalx mode", it's something I can feel, sort of like playing two different instruments.

[1] Sort of an obscure one, but there's a good reason to learn it! http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/

You don't need tiny keyboards for stenography, they just need n-key rollover and an ergonomic layout is a bonus. For me personally the sweet spot are 42 keys, much lower than that and I need to make a ton of compromises and the accuracy plummets. The problem is that putting modifier keys like Ctrl and Alt on normal letters is guaranteed to cause issues for certain key combinations unless you type really slowly.

And I don't know how flexible VS Code is in terms of keybindings, but I like to use Space as a leader key for many of my additions. So instead of e.g. Ctrl-x I press Space followed by x. It can be still just as fast with some muscle memory.
Compilers can and do perform these optimizations; they maintain internal tables of instruction costs that guide what code is emitted. It’s just that modern processors don’t really have these kinds of differences, and the ones that do are generally not amenable to high-level compilers for other reasons (extreme register pressure, etc.)

> As I'm understanding it, the cheating is to communicate within the bidding system in a way that isn't written down to be disclosed to your opponents. Is that what you're referring to and what the tournament players are doing?

Is that what I'm referring to? Yes. I have deep philosophical differences with this approach, it was specifically described in my parent comment, and I responded to that.

Is that the form of cheating being described here? No. The cheating here is much, much stupider: it involves online bridge tournaments in which any random account is free to spectate live games and see all the cards. So some players created new accounts, spectated their own live games, and looked at everyone's cards. This is cheating by anyone's standard. But it's not what I was talking about or what AlbertCory was talking about.

while (p) {
p = p->next;
size++;
if(size == 1000)

}

while (p && (size < 1000)) {
p = p->next;
size++;
}
return size;

I said once a month, because if you use your computer once a month there is no point having it powered on 24/7, not economical. What happens is you power it on when you need to use it, Windows starts downloading updates in the background, the next time you power on, installation starts on boot.

That's not how E2E encryption works. It's not just e-mail administrators updating their systems. Every client would need to support whatever E2E encryption scheme chosen.

Valve has the best immersive PC gaming platform in the world...

Facebook cannot do VR based on games. It wouldn't bring in enough money to sustain it. They're going after a much bigger market.

The entire global PC gaming market was worth $42b in 2019. It's up a bit since then, but not by much[1]. That's equivalent to about 5 months of Facebook's revenue[2]. In other words, in terms of revenue, Facebook is double the size of the entire PC gaming market.

Honestly I think we have been getting through the pandemic with surprisingly little problems regarding supply chains, at least as far as I am personally concerned. Anything I have heard has been basically minor inconvenience or higher prices.

I have lived in a major city when all the country's truck drivers went on strike and supermarket shelves were empty within a day. I can tell you that was an all together different feeling. Of course truckers would probably not have let the population starve, but it showed me how fragile life in a big city really is. Not getting my new car delivered on time because of a chip shortage is extremely low in the range of potential bad outcomes.

You could call them "infrequent" but "long-tail" is also a common description to convey a Power Law distribution:

I think in this case about DNS caching, "long tail" is better than "infrequent". In the wikipedia graph, some of the domain lookups in yellow may be "frequent" (absolute sense) but simultaneously but much less popular (long tail) such that they don't stay in DNS lookup caches.

I have read more than enough reports of both happening - and the logistics companies banning truck drivers from toilets is a direct consequence of not being enough toilets and other facilities on the road, because people who have been on the road non-stop for days without a shower, sleeping in their trucks, don't exactly smell good.

Domain model is the peristence model. Splitting them apart is often known as an anemic domain model (in Domain Driven Design).

All the domain logic is on the entity. So our command handlers (akin to your service methods) look like:

1. Load entity
2. Call method on entity, passing in data
3. Save entity
4. Raise events

So we only unit test 2. because that's the domain code. Loading entities from the dbContext is someone else's code. So is saving. So is raising events.

If your entity class gets big, split out the functionality into other classes so that you end up with a fair portion of bodyless methods.

Hope this is making sense!
Where are you getting this from?

Ok, I'm not that familiar with the plans with starship.

I think the premise of the article is wrong anyway.

I think no matter what the system is like, it still makes sense to optimize for mass in a reasonable way. That means, not sending dead weight to high delta vee. Leave big tanks or engines behind.

It's a bit like you don't transport your car with the airplane. It would be madness.

Exponentials are unintuitive. The total mass of all fuel in all stages is directly proportional to the mass that needs to be sent to the highest delta vee. So for example (to take a few shortcuts) if your moon ascent stage is 1% heavier, everything has to be 1% heavier, including the first stage of the launcher. So 1 kg in the ascent stage might not look like much but it grows the first stage at something like 1000 kg.

That's why I'm really skeptical of the architecture of landing atmospheric stages to the surface. They are just unnecessarily heavy. You have maybe quadrupled your total launch amount from the surface (haven't done an analysis).

Early Apollo planning had direct landing because docking in orbit had not been demonstrated. Gemini validated that. Orbital docking works fine and Apollo could continue with muchh more efficient architectures. Actually, docking has gotten a lot better, we did have Apollo, yes, and we have robotic tugs routinely flying to ISS.

Engines haven't made significant progress since the sixties, not enough to warrant really big architectural changes towards less mass efficiency.

If anything, the improved docking and automation that has already been demonstrated would swing the architectural plans for moon or Mars to have even more docking, berthing, refueling and staging!

Direct landing might only make sense with something like nuclear propulsion...
No, if they arrive independently then they are best described by a poisson process, and the expected time to arrival is exactly 1/(event probability per interval). Not sure where you got the 0.5 from?
