Your beliefs about infection and transmission rates are wrong. The UK does vastly more testing than most European countries. Normalize by testing rate and the UK is no different to anywhere else. Here's an example query for you:

https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explor...

At any rate, I'm curious why you still believe infection rates are linked to policy. There are so many counter-examples by now: for the UK specifically, after it had it's "Freedom Day" and removed masking requirements and other measures cases fell significantly and immediately. Florida got rid of all measures and now has one of the lowest rates in the USA. Studies have been done to measure the correlation between various types of policies and outcomes, always with a null result. Infection rates and policy just don't seem to be linked at all, sad though it is to say.

"They are not a medical instrument, they are a policy instrument"

And the UK already has very high vaccination rates. Well above the levels originally claimed to be needed, especially over 90% amongst the vulnerable, meaning they're pointless both on their face and if you treat them as a form of extra-judicial punishment.

I agree with you that they're actually the latter, but they're presented as a medical instrument by governments. Hence why testing and recovery gets you a certificate. If you view them as in reality being mandates that circumvent the judicial system then Europe - a continent that spent much of the 20th century as a basket case overrun with dictators and fascists - is once again lying to its people in the name of totalitarian control. Why on earth should England follow them down that road? It's one that's been walked before, always with horrific ends.

"Not if they keep using masks and hanging around with other vaxed people only"

I think you're just making things up now. No data indicates this that I'm aware of, transmission rates aren't "out of control" once you correct for testing rates and if vaccinated people only stop being infectious when wearing masks (lol) then it's not the vaccines stopping transmission, is it?
It is probably because the proof is either relativizing, natural or algebrizing. It has been proven that those types of proofs are not going to work. The people who submit these kind of proofs often do not understand that they are never going to work. Why would you, as a serious mathematician that understands this to spend your energy to refute some proof for which you know that it already has been refuted. It is the same why designs of peperpetium mobilium devices are not being refuted.
I genuinely struggle to imagine what taking on China would be like with so much economic dependance on their exports and manufacturing. Can anyone please explain? Especially in the with the current economic outlook in mind.
I would love to buy a modern portable cassette player, but it seems that all of them use the exact same terrible cassette mechanism on the inside, leading to poor quality. If someone can point me somewhere that's still producing quality portable cassette decks that would be grand.

Let's hope for no wars between nuclear powers, rather than having the US take on two of them at the same time.
Maximum network bandwidth is ~220 Mbps, and that's with a massive USB Ethernet dongle hanging off each Zero 2. WiFi is a pretty anemic ~35 Mbps.

So unless your clustering needs are very low-performance and don't need much in the way of networked bandwidth, I would stay away from trying to cluster Zeros.

The Zero 2 is slightly less-bad than the original Zero W (I actually built a tiny K3s cluster with it way back when...), but still not a great idea. It's extremely slow and the 512 MB of RAM limits what you can do a lot.
> Isn't it about the response to the request?

High level, yes. Mid/low-level, it really depends on what you're doing. If you're serving static files, sure, use Nginx/Woo. If you're running an evented CL application that deals mostly with network i/o, threading is going to be a tank when you need a hummingbird.

I built cl-async/wookie as parallels for nodejs/express in common lisp.
Maybe with the new s-expressions it will be more feasible for someone to create an importer for Renode. Assuming enough annotations or whatever.
> When a medical doctor prescribes a drug for a purpose that is currently being studied scientifically, that is not "alternative medicine".

It really is, as there is absolutely no evidence it has any effect whatsoever and at best it only serves as a placebo. In short, it's snake oil. Worse: politically-motivated snake oil.

If you do a PhD, please don’t show up in web development trying to learn React. Secretly we all think you are a waste of an education. If you do it, do it. Don’t come bouncing around for a paycheck afterward and bother us, and certainly don’t try to impress us with your wasted effort.

You find out the hard way what HAARP can really do.

If you are interest in obtaining a set of the best, single "competition matches" per candidate filter out good candidates earlier.

'(67 vs 89) vs (12 vs 45)' will filter out early good option '67'. Irrelevant if you goal is '89'; relevant if your goal is '(89, 67)'.

I would say, many people also look down on much more popular languages, such as PHP. Go is still an absolute niche language, even more niche than languages like Scala or R.

Either store the locale used when a user enters their name and then use it to mark up the text whenever you display the username, or simply use the system default, so Japanese users will see Chinese names with Japanese glyphs and Chinese users will see Japanese names with Chinese glyphs. Other users randomly get whatever.
Well for the users, they should be upgrading anyway.
I can't see a situation where someone would mirror your library in and not also have brought, or be bringing in a non breaking language change in the new golang.

Interestingly, I still use magnetic drives as a second drive on my laptops for storing data.Unfortunately most modern laptops have only one drive (NVMe), excellent for performance and less so for durability. And you better not keep it off for a couple of months.

This seems like a style preference, not something where there is a clear "best" option.

I personally suggest snake_case for five reasons:

1) It's very readable (an underscore visually mimics a space between words)

2) The question of case sensitivity is avoided because it's all lower case

3) No one has to remember whether the capitalization is PaschalCase or camelCase or whatever the other cases are -- it's just lowercase all the way through

4) The YAML key becomes a valid variable in every modern programming language (which is not true if you use a hyphen)

5) Double-click in any system will select the_whole_key instead of separate-words (test those in your browser to see what I mean)
Good point. Would it be feasible to check the locale used at profile creation time, then store that locale alongside the username if it contains at least one CJK glyph?

Why do the companies paying for said ads fall for it if its so blatantly obvious, personally I think its either they have a way of checking the value of the ads (clickthrough rates/ conversions) or they are just stopping their competition from monopolizing the ad space.
There may be issues displaying it on Firefox. Chrome and Safari seems to have displayed it correctly on my end. I'll find time to replace them with images so they appear correct regardless of environment.

Niche in your niche perhaps, but there's a lot of code in the wild written in Go. Hell, all the modern devops tools are written in Go (Docker, k8s & co.)

Meanwhile, as a non Java programmer, I've never seen a Scala app. I know about R, but nothing on my PC is written in it.

Agreed that PHP is massive in comparison to all of them.
The latter. In HTML you can specify a specific DOM element as being in a specific language so the browser can render it properly, but if the place you want to quote text isn't as allowing (eg. comment sections with no HTML allowed), there may be no way to ensure correct glyphs.
Always grateful for a YouTube channel recommendation, but it would have been awesome if it really was the Grimes I thought you were referring to.

I really which LAN made a comeback. There hasn't been a week without a video conference where someone had internet issues due to Wifi problems. In fact, from my experience, most times people talk about issues with their internet it's in reality Wifi issues. But few non-technical (and even technical) people consider connecting devices like TVs or Laptops by LAN, even if they hardly ever move and the router is close by.

All this talk about how fast Wifi can be made people think it's all they need. But in reality, building a Wifi network with fast speeds across a whole house while avoiding too much interference from networks around you (esp in inner cities where you can easily have 40+ networks in reach) is more work and more expensive than pulling LAN cables to the right places.

But LAN isn't sexy and no one advertises how fast a copper cable can be, it just doesn't sell products as well as talking about Wifi 6.

Just guessing here but perhaps they are adhering to some spec about how DOM should work and behave that is as old as the web itself :) HTML standards, JS standards, CSS standards all move forward, perhaps we need a DOM 2.0. Or a new browser that rethinks how it handles DOM to shake things up

I use it especially much when writing old school java. Instead of writing "MyClass myclass = new MyClass()", I just write "new MyClass()" and get the typing for free. Even better when you do longer expressions and don't want to think about the type up front. Like working with streams or so.

The processors on the Pis aren't really optimized for low power, and they aren't strictly ARM. These Broadcom chips have a VideoCore that starts up first, which then brings up the ARM cores (geerling goes into greater detail here [0]). I don't think there was any kind of work done to properly suspend both cores for sleep modes.

If you're looking for low power ARMs, maybe other boards may fit the bill better.

A lot of elephants are killed for the ivory in their tusks

Some elephants are born without tusks and live much longer.

Natural mating between tuskless elephants will dramatically increase.

This will result in the trait being propagated rapidly.
It's not their size that was the problem. It's the frequency, and the fact that they take a long time to install and most of them seem to require a reboot. And sometimes they even reboot the machine when you don't want, potentially losing work.
I'm sure it'll be coming soon - a colleague of mine signed up shortly after me and received an invite today.
Is it? Biology is one of the fields most often cited as stagnant. Yes there's lots of papers, and some progress in understanding at the micro level, but progress against the most important diseases is nearly zero (see: Alzheimers, obesity, heart disease).

Also, the field is full of low standards and fraud. That's one reason why there's so much arguing over COVID, and why tech VCs stay away from it. Way too many impressive sounding results that you only discover don't replicate once you funded and spun up a lab. In biology you get things like Theranos, which is the sort of long term scam that's much harder to pull off in the software world.

Biology is also one of the few fields that appears to have serious problems with undetected paper forgery, which professional firms that create entirely fictional experiments and sell them. Browse through https://pubpeer.com/ and you'll see that the papers getting flagged are nearly always biology papers.

The bit "waiting for the trial to conclude" actually means "determine if the drug actually has any effect or not".

No matter how much you are interested in saving people's lives, or any other moralistic fallacy that might pop up, you can only help them if you give them treatments that actually work. Cutting short a study is falling short of the most basic requirement to meet that goal.
Upgrading to the latest release of the Go toolchains is generally a painless experience; the Go team has a good track record of enforcing backward compatibility. Hopefully this means that you can assume other users will be able to use code targeting new features of go 1.18 in pretty much the same time window it takes for other releases to supplant old ones, and make this feature not unlike previous (minor) language features that nevertheless would break users who cling to too old toolchains.

I hope that the publicity caused by generics doesn't taint this release causing people to unnecessary procrastinate a toolchains update they would have otherwise done if it wasn't for generics.

For n = 2, a trivial solution is to have one die with three 1s and three 3s and one die with six 2s.

In general there are 6^n different outcomes and n! different orderings, so a necessary condition is that 6^n is a multiple of n! That means any n ≥ 5 won’t work.
