Nine miles of hiking per day is not gruelling but it's enough to feel like you did something.

I did half-dome in Yosemite many years ago, and if I remember it's about 7 miles one-way with ~4000-5000 feet of elevation change. But the trail is mostly quite good, and it's as much as I'd want to hike in a day.

For a two day trip, especially if the trail is rough, 18 miles sounds about right.
I think you're missing the point. As a media event, you need the drama so that you are able to run the script you have planned.
Wendelstein is only a plasma experiment not a full reactor.
You mean not splitting on spaces?

No, never, ever bit me.
Yeah that is what I thought too. I wish that the 2017 google paper authors would have been considerate enough to not use a term from such a closely-related field to avoid unnecessary confusion.

I do `exec fish` indeed, so that's the reason.

> And a mutated virus mostly is more contagious but less fatal, isn't it? A virus optimises for spreading, not killing it's taxi.

Not necessarily. In fact the better the virus gets at infecting our cells and evading immunity, the more likely it is to also spread to dangerous / lethal levels before our immune systems are able to stop it.

> Was like that with delta

No it wasn't.
If this were true, perhaps it points to the increasing use of PED’s in more recent years.
When the CIA bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. Chinese people were mad and going around in pro government/ anti-US riots and tried to storm the embassy/ consulates in Beijing and other cities. The government shutdown the subways and public transportation and enacted some degree of censorship in the state controlled news. (This was in '99 before widespread adoption of the internet)
They’re the paperclip maximizers of the animal kingdom. All a virus does is make more of itself. If it does, there’s more, if not, it goes extinct. They do it sloppy and mutate. If it does the thing better, there’s more of the new thing. If not, that new thing goes extinct. Once that’s been happening for billions of years some parts of these viruses will look pretty clever.
> A slightly higher than median salary used to mean one is in the middle class.

No, it didn't.

If you are salary-dependent, you are working class.

A slightly higher than non-Hispanic white median salary used to mean you were in a relatively comfortable, but still wage-labor-dependent, segment of the working class. Women entering the work force in mass and some other changes, it takes a slightly higher multiple of a single non-Hispanic White median income (but a fairly similar multiple of a non-Hispanic White household income) to do that for a household, and its been that way for most of the working life of Gen X and later.
Doctrine ORM uses Annotations to label SQL data, it's a pretty good example of Annotations in action: https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/2....
But that would be just a single image with no context, and usually no location and no ability to link it to bluetooth or phone number, as most online services remove exif data now, I belive.

It's not like a fixed CCTV camera that is continuously recording and being constantly analyzed and stored forever, and can detect regular patterns of behavior, and thereby able to automatically tag things that are "out of the ordinary".

>If it's CCTV, it's just one company that manages the photos, under local regulations.

How could you possibly know that? There is nothing to say that the information is not being shared. TBH, it's extremely naive to think that information stays inside the building, or that the three-letter agencies haven't already connected those thousands of cameras.

It's interesting that you use the word "photos" too, what I'm worried about is much more than photos, it's a permanent historical record of dates/times/movement patterns that can be linked over thousands of cameras, creating a continuous historical record of everyone's movements, all linked to those photos. They can track a single person's movements over years. It can also correlate with other people to detect who may be connected to who. Bigdata tracking everyone at all times.

Give me a random person snapping street photos any day.

Any way you cut it, fixed cameras are more worrisome.
The solar system's “brines” are crucial to the search for extraterrestrial life
I learned touch typing as an exchange student in an US high school in the late '90s.
Socrates was not particularly collaborative. Lived through dictatorship+revolution led by his students and got killed after. The resentments were real. Quite a few people were tortured and killed in that story of betrayal, revolution, contrarevolution, amnesty and broken amnesty.

Like seriously, it was way more violent and bloody then your average western society now. And we don't even go to regular wars against other cities and don't keep slaves. Neither of those two are collaboration.

And now you can actually become citizen without being born from citizen father.
Yes, but none of those "experts" were calling it "a normal seasonal virus", they just didn't believe such measures were necessary. SARS-COV-1 didn't require widespread border closures or masking, and it very much wasn't "a normal seasonal virus".
> than what?

Than preceding variants. You're shifting the goalposts by comparing to other causes of death in young people now.
It's long believed there's a loophole in UK law which allows these types of "continuous sales" tactics. Provided the product is available at RRP in _one_ of the shops within the same company (i.e. a chain) for a minimum time period (say, 60 days), it can be priced as a "discount" in another store.

The trick used it to have a shop in the middle of nowhere (for example, north Scotland) which rotates products on the shop floor. This shop operates purely at a loss except for some desperate customers who will pay through the nose for a product due to convenience.

A mattress would be for sale at GBP 999 for 60 days there, and promoted as a discount at GBP 499 in _every other store_ they own. They make profit on selling 50x products at the discount vs. a single product at original price.
Even worse is text fields that cannot keep up with typing even on a brand new processor.

I haven't used facebook messenger in yearw, but last time I did, typing was at leas O(n^2) and would bring any cpu to its knees if messages were typically 100s of words.

Gumtree is another (doesn't register characters if you type them to fast). Probably the exact same code as they were acquired by facebook.
Exactly. ITER is more like rocketry was in the 50s. You know it should be doable but there are a ton of details to figure out first. SpaceX could build on decades of experience built by others.
You basically cannot attend a higher education institution in person without having gotten mmr, hep b, and meningitis vaccines, and those requirements have been in place for quite a while.
Honestly, I don't see much difference. You learn either way. People may have preferences, that's fine. A compiler isn't a magical tool that creates bug free code.
I think the hope here is that you don't need async/await syntax. The fiber implementation is supposed to abstract over both sync and async implementations.
Because Delta doesn’t evade the current vax immunity, it just replicates significantly faster.
I remember when a major leader at Google told everybody once the vaccine was widely available we'd all go back to work and things would be normal.

I laughed and told them that they should stick to CS, and that biology and medicine don't work like computers. They didn't like it (and have since moved to New Zealand).
Well I grew up in Canada. We had generic 'computer lab' classes (don't remember which subject it was associated with for most of those years) from kindergarten to grade 12. Touch typing was definitely drilled into our brains throughout.

And of course it's not a 'course'. 'Reading' and 'writing' weren't courses, but you learn them regardless. It's too basic to be a course. It's just stuff we learned.

Edit - the format for schooling here is for the first 6/7 years you have a single teacher all day long. That teacher teaches you every subject. And that included several trips to the computer lab per week. The next 6 years of schooling had 'courses' split up by teacher and time slots, but again, computer lab time in some of those courses. There was also a required course called 'CALM' (Career and life management I think) which included a very strong computer lab component. There were also CS-ish electives (equivalent to shop classes) where you learned CS, albeit at a very basic level. And this was during an era where most people didn't have computers at home... So computer labs were always open after school hours.

Edit 2 - Anyhow, a lil random. But being able to touch-type at a specific speed on a test program was required to pass CALM and it was required for high-school graduation. Some kids could pass and then forget it all, but in general the entire schooling system here involves computers enough that most people can touch-type.

Edit 3 - My partner had a similar educational upbringing, despite being born under communism. Hell, she can touch-type multiple keyboard layouts (for other languages) on a US keyboard despite not being technically inclined...
You're not alone in this twisted mind universe
Also why many people don't take it at all. Not worth the constant hassle for something that doesn't bother me in the first place. Flu shot efficacy is usually in the gutter anyway (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_vaccine#Effectivenes...).
On AWS, there are serious issues such as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1331150..., that only requires a simple sysctl workaround, yet AWS would only put the workaround into the Amazon Linux images.

Meanwhile, the same issue was actually fixed once and for all on GCP: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8732356
From what we know, there's no "plan" or designed function for viruses. They're just crafty pieces of information that get copied and spread in living organisms and sometimes wreak havoc on the hosts.
Yep, my original writing is dismissive to emphasize the similarities between this and the Clinton case.
The obvious analogy being childhood vaccine requirements for schools, sports college, etc.
My [numerous] friends in South Africa say that anti-vax superstition is extremely common, and current vaccine participation is purely based on fear (everyone who agrees with science has been vaccinated). The variant may well be ravaging the unvaccinated alone.

Of course, you're right, the unvaccinated are a fertile ground for mutations that eventually evade the vaccine.
It was included as part of the curriculum in certain classes I had in middle school.

As with most things in my education, most people including myself just put in minimal effort, to get the grade (which touch typing didn’t really effect, as it was not part of any homework, quizzes, tests, etc.) and after a few years you never had to see it again.
I basically always do that anyway. I never get around to working them executable so I just do

bash foo.sh

Which is actually easier to type than

./foo.sh
Aren't many vaccines required to attend public schools, which is, in essence, a mandate? You either get your kids vaccinated, get an exemption, or choose alternative schooling. What's the fundamental difference? I've also been required to show proof of vaccinations for certain jobs.
“Lowest seen” prices are a year old, have you considered accounting for inflation?

Edit: a price/GB would be nice aswell
So Vincent wasn't wrong, because he was just parroting the experts.. but Vincent is the expert? Am I understanding the logic correctly?
Professors can be wrong or misunderstand things. They are human too.

Is there any evidence besides an appeal to authority?
> Shell scripts have shebangs and work.

Exactly this - I feel like it is a common misconception.

Even without shebang? `bash the_thing.sh` -> done.

Writing a personal utility for myself? Unless it is dead simple I'll go with fish. It'll work with spaces in file names by default, I won't need `while < read`, etc.

Writing anything I need to distribute? sh or bash

I've been using fish for years and years and never once have I thought "oh man I wish this was POSIX" because POSIX was always 3 key strokes away if I really needed it: `sh<CR>` (which, I did not, unless I had to write a portable script and needed a repl)
As far as I can tell the whole "push for a European federation" is 100% interpretation of the linked source, and a jump of reasoning, too.

The new government is pushing for:

- a sovereign Europe

- using existing regulatory mechanisms more strictly against countries breaching EU agreements

- and similar

But that would (by far) not be enough to get anywhere close to a European federation.

Not only this a real European federation is in direct conflict with the German constitution and as such very very unlikely to ever happen.

I'm the market for a replacement for a 5yr sony bravia 3D replacement which I love. Your question is answered like any other question about which electronics; your budget. As I'm gleaning the market, few things I'm keeping in mind:

1. dumb as possible, no OEM OS like webos/roku etc. use ext. smart box

2. HDMI w CEC to be controllable w/ ext receiver

3. LCD/OLED have burn-in like your phone. just fyi. Particularly OLED.

4. want local dimming

5. want HDR's as many as it supports

6. you want class A screens likes of which manuf are; sharp, sony etc.. but now includes lowend like Vizio

7. look at reviews for screen edge bleeding.. I hate that.

IMHO every brand at every model level has diff screen/tech so one can't definitively say one brand is better. Your budget should dictate what you end up buying. I think what one sees is subjective. Only reviews showing things like contrast levels, bleeding and color reproduction are you only objective parameters to steer you.

[EDIT] forgot to mention that if you like so many others use ext. box to stream. Remember that all your TV settings for color, Hz etc can be over written by your ext box. So the quality of your ext. streamer will also dictate the quality of your videos.
I think your interpretation is quite simplified. Yes there is some "element of patriotism" but it's enhanced by something else. Let me explain.

homo sapiens are born to have defects that their brains can not differentiate model of their neural network and data (i.e. fact). The people from China have more data or ground facts compare to the Westerners who get all the information from media. There's a quite big discrepancy (There are some reasons but beyond the scope). What happened quite often is their perception of unfairness. More specific: The western media lied in a very tricky way so almost the whole western are brainwashed. Please note: that's somehow popular perceptions.

But the perception is also mixed and dynamic.

For the dynamic part: Today's popular perception was not popular 15 or 20 years ago. The perception has been changing gradually because the neural networks are fed with new data so the weights are changing and models i.e. opinions are changing. Especially young generation who have better neural plasticity.

For the mixed part: There are quite portion of anti CPP opinions. You can easily find many anti CPP people from China. Some are quite extreme. You can say it's somehow polarized. Even within China the portion of anti CPP is quite sizable.
It made a difference long before Casio calculators, when tables were your main source of values (that would be this old fart's day). You could argue that as long as you stuck to the same table set, it doesn't really matter - but tell that to the decibels.
This seems like possibly worse news than the appearance of Delta. Because we already had vaccines that worked against Delta.
What did you prefer about nu?
If you read the announcements it explains why they are doing it.

PHP is a community driven project, comparing that with C# or Java is a bit unfair because they are backed by companies worth billions.

What you describe about Zend I think that is more the old days before PHP 7. I don’t have the full picture of this but my understanding is that because of the failure of PHP 6 (never released), another group of developers from the community started to work with PHP 7 and I don’t think neither of them was from Zend.

Today there is an open RFC process and anyone can submit an RFC and then the core teams votes on it. If you contribute to PHP you can become a member of the core team.

https://wiki.php.net/rfc

If you want to be part of the discussion you can join the internals mailing list. Here you can read it without joining.

https://externals.io/

If someone is unhappy with direction of PHP my advice to them is to start contributing, bug fix, write documentation, translate, write RFCs, implement functionality, code review etc. Why? because PHP today is a community driven project.
> when they're working correctly

Is their toasting a bit hit or miss?
If it is what you/your team are most confident in and it is suitable to solve the problem (i.e a typical MVC web application), then yes, it is a very sensible choice. If your confidence lies elsewhere, then no, choose that instead. End of the day you’re just solving a problem using code.
The smugness on display here is somewhat remarkable.

I get that no one wants to be locked down again, but nature cannot be fooled.

I went somewhere that requires mandatory masks + proof of vaccine / test results, it really didn't make any difference to me at all.
Are you an idiot, a troll, or a paid shill for a hostile government? Occam's Razor suggests the first.
> So what's your source that the YouTuber has accurately parroted scientific findings?

The parts of the video where he literally quotes the original findings.
I use systemd units to start Oracle databases.

These come up unconfined by default in RHEL 7, but this behavior changed in RHEL 8.

I don't remember the specifics, but Oracle support confirmed that it should be assigned unconfined in the newer OS.

This is essentially "setenforce 0" for a process, as I understand it.
> * SA has a <50% vaccination rate

it's closer to 25% countrywide, according to https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations?country=ZAF

But this source says 35%: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/exclusive-south-africa-...

It will be higher in urban areas, and lower outside of them.
Both arguments are valid though imo.

If you take a photo in town square and I'm in the background no worries, that's fine. If you follow me around taking photos of me in town square then that's harassment - not fine.

If your Nest doorbell watches me walk past your house that's also fine. However if your entire street has Nest then has Amazon identified me as having walked down your entire street? If so, that should also be harassment.

The issue isn't that the photo or video was taken, it's the correlation that happens after the fact.
Belive me if France disagrees with Germany they will point it out.

Through I wouldn't be surprised if the France government is more interested in a European federation then the German one.

I've heard multiple references to experts/politicians/media "calling border closures racist" in early 2020, but only from conservative media claiming that liberals were espousing this viewpoint. Can someone provide sources or evidence for this?
No you're not understanding the logic correctly. The GP was wondering why he has to trust a YouTuber to accurately parrot a research article and I point out that he's not a random YouTuber. Of course he can still be wrong?

So if vaccinated people can still spread the virus, what is achieved by preventing the unvaccinated from eating in restaurants?
Best time to get a new TV is the week after the super bowl, get the tvs that were returned. I imagine the same applies to world cup and other sporting events that prompt people to buy a massive TV just to return it a few days later, after they show it off at the party.
Googling isn't finding the story, so take this with a grain of salt, but as I recall there have been incidents where Apple needed so many of a specific machine, made by one specific company, to set up their manufacturing, but when they couldn't get enough delivered on time they bought the company outright.

(Presumably this would help by giving them access to the IP so they could contract other factories to manufacture them as well, since Apple has the up-front cash to do it)

Again, I can't find the article so who knows if it's true, but it sounds very, very Apple to do that.
Yeah, South Africa apparently postponed their upcoming vaccine deliveries recently because they're running out of willing people to vaccinate and the current stockpiles will last half a year at the current rate: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/exclusive-south-africa-...
17 minutes in, dismissing the R value that the UK scientific advisors calculated based on unpublished data, that we now know was correct: "you can't use epidemiological data to prove a biological effect of an amino acid..."

Yeah, that's a virology point of view all right. That something has to have a proven biological mechanism before it can be taken as fact, or even considered as a risk. That's bad public policy though. With his reasoning there would have been no reason to increase restrictions in the UK in Dec/Jan, but in fact the restrictions were extremely necessary and the variant caused tens of thousands of extra deaths.
after starting to take quantum chemistry the professor wrote up on the board:

E Psi = H Psi

and we all joked you could just cancel the Psi and so E=H.

I think it matters that he’s wrong because you’ve already given him such a high stature. Him being wrong means a policy that depends on him being right should also be reinspected. But policies aren’t that flexible.
...so it basically is `0 == ![]`, in other words, `[].length` which is `0`, thus becomes `0 == false` which returns `true` with loose comparison?
Is there a reliable vaccine? I mean one that's reliable for longer than a few months. A lot of folks are still unaware that e.g., the Pfizer vaccine wanes to ~20% relative risk reduction after only 5 months[1]. This down from the unrestrained silliness of "100% SAFE AND EFFECTIVE" as the corporate press stated when the vaccines were rolling out.

There is no way in hell these vaccines can end the pandemic.

[1] "Effectiveness declined gradually thereafter, with the decline accelerating after the fourth month to reach approximately 20% in months 5 through 7 after the second dose." https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2114114
Would that move make TSMC's CEO less like a CEO of an independant company and more like Apple's VP of chips?
If you mean that Delta original advance wasn’t hindered by the vaccines, but Nu will be… it’s not clear that the vaccines will be very effective if it spreads. The spike protein looks quite different.
