Exactly! Imagine how many diseases we would have eradicated if we all just stayed at home for that long!

Sure, but if we’re talking a 32bit system, a magic number can be your final atomic.

Agreed. If you were talking an 8bit system, you could 32bit CRC your actual data. Even though the CRC would be 32bits and 4 stores, it wouldn’t be “set” until the final atomic write.
Looks interesting. SELinux by default is certainly a win, it seems that Linux has finally hit a tipping point where SELinux is a reasonable option (ie: someone else is going to do the work for you).

Unfortunately I'm just way more used to debian based systems, and I feel like having a mismatch in production would just lead to friction.
This strikes home for me. I come from an extended family of laborers and addicts. All of us had the same future: miserable work, low wages, multiple bankruptcies, and early death.

I’m 57. I’ve worked as a photographer for 32 years, made a great living and traveled the world. I’ve collaborated with incredible people, and seen (and documented) amazing things.

I live in a beautiful house (I paid it off years ago) in a great city. I have zero debt and have so many options about what I’ll do.

My retirement investments have been done very well (good luck getting me to stop working). I have a wonderful family and an incredible daughter.

I never take any of this for granted. I am so thankful. My siblings, cousins, aunts, etc see me like an alien creature. At 57 I’m the oldest living male in generations of my family.

You can use a live reload tool, e.g. BrowserSync, to automatically refresh webpage after source file change. Put your browser on half of screen if you have big enough monitor, or even better - use dual screen setup. And if your IDE supports automatic saving, you are down to single step: "Edit file".
The reason I always favored open source projects was my assumption that they're immune to asshole behavior, a behavior which this news headline entails of the Rust core team.

Eh, Indy SAGE (of which the author is a member) can be quite cranky. Just because the UK Government are terrible and SAGE advise the UK Government doesn't intrinsically make Indy SAGE any good.

Specifically, Indy SAGE are eternal doom-mongers. Most of what they say is completely out of proportion in this vaccines era of COVID.

They also scream “close the borders” _all_ _the_ _damn_ _time_. This is (a) generally pointless when COVID is everywhere, and moreover the UK is doing worse than many countries. Also, (b), it helps perpetuate the UK's dangerous anti migrant rhetoric. Just yesterday people drowned in the English Channel as a result of the UK's hostility to refugees, and a bunch of xenophobic politicians feigned horror.

The digital touch screen ones won because they are so much easier to clean. A current model induction stove is a completely flat sheet of glass. You spray some chemical on it and give it a wipe down and its done. No pulling knobs off, working between gaps, etc.

And on the switching behavior, I believe that is more related to just how induction cooking works rather than the way you control it. The values on the control panel are not exact anyway, you are always going to have to get a feel for how they work for your setup.

I moved from a house with an induction stove to a classic gas stove and its an absolute nightmare. Cooks slower and takes 50x the effort to clean.
Maybe there's some misunderstanding about what I mean by cruising speed.

I mean it in the sense of the speed I pick when the road is clear ahead of me. Analogous to the cruising speed in an aeroplane, which is usually quite close to its max speed, but not quite.

I can sprint fast for short bursts, but 30km/h is for me comfortable to maintain indefinitely. My heart rate will be around 160 vs my resting of 45, max of 200 and 120 when walking.
I can tell you what not to buy - a smart TV. Buy a good screen and buy one of those small computers. Install normal deskop OS on it. Why? Less vendor lock-in, less tracking, more freedom, easier to repair.

One of my pain points with evil mode (and with every vim emulation for that matter): it's often incomplete. To keep my fingers on the home row I use Alt to exit insert mode (:help i_META in neovim) but Alt- is already mapped to something in Emacs, and that's just painful.
You’re not wrong. On the one hand it’s great to have a public forum for science, on the other I’ve learned I can’t vet it at all, so I should wait until they get farther along before reacting at all. After all, Twitter has predicted 45 of the last 2 consequential variants.

As an individual that’s fine. As a society, we’ve got you and me who’ve learned to hold back, friends and alarmists who react to every signal to their own detriment and risk drowning out the real message, and we’ve got disillusioned trolls who cherry-pick the noise to “prove” scientists aren’t trustworthy.

I don’t know if it’s possible to have the open conversation while cooling off the side effects.
I worked in retail sales from 2004-2006 and I remember management ordering us to increase prices on items leading up to big sales. It seemed like fraud and it made me feel icky doing it.

Especially when we would replace labels of an item that cost $99 to say that it cost $139 and was now on sale for $99.

Luckily I haven't had to work in retail since...

Your answer seems to assume that the distribution of spike proteins which binds to the ACE is very close to the one for which we obtain immunity by getting vaccinated.

Yet we can already see that Delta binds better than the early strains and the efficacy of existing vaccines against it is like 60%, which contradict that. Does it make sense?

Thoth, /θoƱθ/, rhymes with oath. Not sure if /oƱ/ renders here, it's the near-close back rounded vowel or "horseshoe".

Normally yes, /θ/, the dental fricative (commonly "th" in English) is uncommon as far as language sounds goes, and particularly tricky to voice if it's not in phonemic inventory.

But in this case, /toet/ or /toƱt/, "tote", like the container, rhymes with goat, is also an acceptable pronunciation.
Because the current toasters work perfectly fine and are a tiny fraction of the complexity. Anyone who wants better toast than what the toaster makes will just butter and cook the bread on a grill.

Yes, there's kind of a triad of attributes that affects a virus and it's ability to cause a pandemic. Virulence (how sick people become), transmissibility (how easy does it spread), lethality (can it kill at high rate).

-higher virulence causes people to stay at home more, and less spread in community

-higher transmissibility means more spread person to person

-high lethality means people die faster and not spread as fast

SARS and MERS before SARS-COV2(COVID) all had high lethality and therefore those that were infected didn't get a chance to transmit to others that well, and likely helped slow the spread. COVID seems to have a good balance between the three.

The above is a big simplification, but the general idea sticks.

This depends a little on the taste of each person, but personally the most elegant way of doing PHP apps I ever found is with Siler: https://siler.leocavalcante.dev/v/main/ and Create Siler App: https://github.com/leocavalcante/create-siler-app
If you ignore things like Wordpress, my guess is that today it's often used by organizations whose flagship product was originally written more than a decade ago, back when PHP was the go-to language for web development (see: Facebook, Wikipedia, Tumblr etc.) and now that there's an ecosystem around this flagship product, new projects/services may as well be started in PHP, because that's what everyone is comfortable/familiar with. Otherwise, it looks like PHP isn't a very popular choice nowadays for new projects, especially if it's a new company.

Take our company for example, our flagship web product was developed more than a decade ago, and, well, today we still use PHP, because rewriting everything in a different language is a gargantuan task. It's not only about the language itself, but also about all the tooling/best practices etc. around it, which you have to replace, and it's costly. We do gradually modernize our code to remove all the PHP5-era warts, and it's much easier to accomplish than switch to a different language entirely. Modern PHP7+ with Symfony is very pleasant to work with, and in my opinion, from the productivity standpoint, there's really no reason to switch to anything else. Also, PHP7+ seems to be faster than Python/Ruby in raw interpreter speed. However, we realized that we can't scale further if we stay with our PHP/Symfony monolith for everything because of Symfony's considerable startup overhead, so we now try to write new services in Go (request processing is usually 10 times faster for our loads), and seems like the combo PHP+Go is very popular among PHP developers in general.

So, I'd say, PHP isn't "dead" and is still widely used in 2021, however, in my opinion, its usage is indeed dwindling, because there seems to be a trend even in our own PHP community to gradually supplement/replace/augment parts of our projects with services written in Go, and PHP is more and more frequently equaled to "legacy"/"monolith".
Context is everything in architecture. The rest of El Alto is unfinished, artless concrete and terracotta like the adjacent buildings in some of the photos, so it definitely lifts the neighbourhood, and the centre of nearby La Paz is dominated by concrete towers painted in similarly bright colours that just aren't as interesting. It's the graffiti of the architectural world, and sometimes the neighborhood feels more lively for it.

Not sure it would fit quite as easily in the historic centre of Sucre.

A toaster will often start to burn toast when the toaster isn't clean.

When there are a lot of food particles at the bottom that detritus can increase the heat from the heating elements. So, the best way to avoid this is to clean the appliance.
I just started using VS Code a lot last weekend and I didn't find myself using my trackpad much. The Vim plugin, whatever it's called, allowed me to do the same things I do in Vim itself. I can't speak to the Emacs emulation, though, now that I think about it.
Without a polarised plug it means current can 'flow' the 'wrong' way through the toaster, backwards through the heating coils.

Which is to say when the toaster is plugged in but off, the heating coils could still be live, and touching them would shock you.

I’ve been doing the above as a consultant for a couple of decades. Here’s what I see:

o As others have said it’s a lot. That said it sounds like management trusts uou. More than hiring someone off the street to take the reigns. This means there is room to breathe and room to fail a little bit.

o Talk to all biz units to learn what services they rely on. Thus will not be 1:1 with servers and applications as you see them. But it’s an important starting point.

o Inventory all the systems that you can see/find.

o identify backups, DR and put together a list of your concerns. Document this and share with management. This will give you cover.

o develop your own priority list. Be prepared for management to give you a different set of priorities. You will need to learn skills of push back and compromise.

o learn to reach “good enough” in the short term. If you try to fix everything elegantly and perfectly other problems will wait longer.

Dishwashers are noisy and tend to break down the most inconvenient moment.

Our Miele dishwasher is 13 years old and still going strong. Sometimes I have to check whether it's going or not because it's very quiet. The noisiest time is the loud gurgling from the sink drain-hole when it's emptying.

Our previous Dishlex dishwashers were so loud that our main criterion when buying this one was 'It has to be quiet'. The salesman said "If it's quiet you want, there's only one choice, the Miele". Though apparently the Bosch machines are also very quiet but I can't personally verify that.

Back in the mid 70s when we got our first dishwasher, I had been extremely resistant to buying one. That was because I went to a boarding school in the late 50s, and when we had eggs for breakfast we could see yellow spots on the plates for a couple of days afterwards.
It's also live while turned off so if you ever put a fork in it, it's deadly.
Ah, yes - Moodle.

My 6th Form experimented with Moodle when I was a student there - that was a loooooong time ago (2004? 2006?). I remember the staff weren't happy that Moodle allowed students to set their own avatars because too many kids figured out you could use animated GIFs as avatars, probably copied from eBaums or deviantArt; while others uploaded shock-images or just controversial content because I guess that's just funny to a bunch of 16yos.

The school ditched the experiment after a few months because Moodle simply wasn't delivering any real value: the teachers didn't want to have to type-up their handwritten lesson-plans and manually scan-in their existing non-digitized content, and those that did already have digitized content (those smug 6th Form computer science teachers, naturally) didn't want to have to "refactor" (I guess that's the right word?) their content to fit into Moodle's way-of-doing-things.

I think as the experiment came to an end we were only using it for ungraded quiz-taking - we weren't even using it for submitting homework (teachers still preferred e-mail for that: the 6th Form already had its own on-prem MS Exchange set-up that everyone used - and we could e-mail staff from our personal e-mail accounts too, which was nice - I know a lot of schools kept closed, on-prem-only, not-internet-facing e-mail systems to avoid spam - this was back when spam filters were awful and spam itself regularly included actual porn and other very-inappropriate-for-schools content, so I can understand why those other schools did).

----------

I haven't laid-eyes Moodle ever since then - every few years someone will mention it but I've never had a chance to speak to anyone who actually uses it to find out if it's actually any better than it was 15 years ago - and how it's changed at all. Can you fill me in?

And still far better than Blackboard?

ROCm 4.5 is the _last_ version to support the Vega10 ASIC (MI25, Vega56, Vega64).

https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/#amd-instinct-mi25...

The next ROCm release after 4.5 is sometime in Q1 next year. So it's on planned death really soon.

It is transitioning to _that_ comical AMD "enabled in the codebase but not tested and not supported" state, rotting slowly like Polaris support did.
I call this the "No True Lockdown" argument. If they fail to indefinitely prevent significant outbreaks (and in nearly every case they have), well, it just means they weren't implemented soon enough. Even if they drag on for weeks and months with zero cases, only to have an outbreak at the slightest loosening of restrictions. I guess the idea is that if the entire world did this at once the virus would disappear? Completely unworkable, and almost surely false, given the existence of animal reservoirs.

Your entire framing of these policy choices as inevitable and the only option is baseless. Australia and New Zealand used to be held up as the shining lights of "just act fast enough and you can avoid the need for any sustained restrictions" and now we are seeing just how well kicking the can in that way actually works, and the lengths that must be gone to keep kicking it.
