Considering the region in question:

1. actively tried to cover up the disease as it spread outside its borders and

2. did the same thing with another coronavirus in 2003

I think there's a lot of us who wouldn't have minded if this virus was named after them, and very much blame them.
Ah sure, it's good to stick with the default packages in your distribution then... I started from scracth and found that Ivy was more than sufficient for everything I need (and it's quite a lot lighter than Helm).

BTW what was the error mesage?

Good luck!
The soft plastic bags are also much less common nowadays in my experience, at least among first-party tech products. Random accessories purchased from smaller manufacturers will often include more plastic bag packaging.
Wasn’t that kind of meddling what got us here in the first place?
Any lock or building is easy to defeat if you are willing to be destructive. Good locks and windows are tamper evidence devices above all else.
> It’s actually the opposite since the block reward goes down over time

It is true that 10 years ago block rewards were almost 10x what they are today in terms of BTC, but by USD value new rewards are worth several orders of magnitude more today.
If the price goes up, you can spend more resources to mine a block. But the cost will approach the reward.
> No scenario when we 'let it rip' involves being able to give Oxygen to all young people who need it, and there will be extra deaths due to overload.

This is highly speculative. Considering the exposure and infection rates among the younger population, particularly those of school age, can't we say we did let it rip? Infection seroprevalence in blood-donors was at 20% by July[1]. How much worse could it possibly be?

Really? Asking because people send him locks all the time from all over the world, and he opens them all.
in pseudo English (meaning a direct translation) it is "nine hundred five and seventy", in real English it is "nine hundred and seventy five"
Interestingly Norwegian used to spell out numbers in the same order as German, but reformed this in the 1950s when telephone numbers became widespread:

I guess having a dedicated Språkrådet to oversee the development of the Norwegian language and a single broadcasting service(NRK) made the roll-out of this possible.
not really, if you fall asleep for a period of years, you can still get a signal of how genuine any proposed fork is by observing the chain of blocks and their difficulties. that's the crucial bit of any PoW system - you can't fake the energy that was spent producing the chain. that's a way to externally validate the honesty of a system and a major scientific breakthrough that satoshi discovered.

10 minutes if you start from a code example.

Tezos is Proof of stake, decentralized and clearly has consensus, the three things the author argues cannot occur in a proof of stake system.

I did not find this post convincing especially as many proof of stake systems have been running consistently for years now and with significant transaction and economic volume.

As an example Tezos has decentralized apps such as liquidity pools, collateral based stablecoin systems, nft ecosystems, coin bridges to other networks such as Ethereum (two way) I use these smart contracts on a weekly basis and have done for a long time now.

Tezos manages several orders of magnitude more transaction throughput based on opcode count count vs Bitcoin, transactions, even complex ones cost pennies the network has not been attacked, is worth billions and Tezos energy usage is easily a million times less than Bitcoin.
You can’t say that it’ll rely on real word courts and then two minutes later say that the benefit is that you don’t need to hire lawyers.
That's understandable, I originally come from about the same position too, with a bit less functional programming background.

I updated the intro to also cover that angle: https://github.com/Tamschi/Abstraction-Haven-Backup/commit/f...

Since it turned out quite a bit longer that way, I was pretty liberal with the bold formatting to make it still easy to skip for those familiar with the issue.
French is not actually that weird; it's just weird from 80-99. From 10-79, it's just like English handles it. They just never came up with single words for 80 and 90.

Australian exports to the European union will suffer. There will be no nuclear subs here for decades, if ever. We'll be given second hand dross before the new subs arrives., and it bears mentioning the French subs were nuclear, and retrofitted with diesel to meet this contract.

The French subs need recharging. The US and UK offer are single charge for life.

It's a five eyes con. We pissed off the Japanese to take the French deal and pissed off the French to take the US/British deal. This is childishly stupid politics about arms for 2030 or 2040.

Morrison won't be in power in two terms more. Normally Australian defence is bilateral. The libs under Abbot tore bilateralism apart.

I trust Macron less than I trust Merkel but more than I trust Johnson or Morrison.

France is muscling up. Look how they told the UK to fuck off over the cross channel policing meeting. Macron isn't taking any shit from anyone, he's occupying the power vacuum Merkel is leaving behind.

Stupid politics for an economically weak nation like Oz. We will gain little for this posture. Strike an own goal time. (Just like the TPP is better without Yankee distortions, and I have little doubt Morrison will usher the Americans back in, to our trade detriment. Every us au trade deal has materially disadvantaged Australian businesses)

Aleph is a Hebrew letter I think? It's used for describing infinities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_number
Historically english also spoke numbers in the same way as in German. For example “four and twenty blackbirds”.
My understanding--which seems to coincide with this article and which Wikipedia seems to agree with (not that that necessarily means much for this)--is that in an asynchronous circuit latency would be lower, not higher, as the clock is required to wait for the worst-case performance while a clock-less system can proceed immediately once only the required inputs have arrived (or even attempt to speculate on partial inputs, something which would offer no value if you would have to end up waiting for the next tick anyway).

Most professional locksmiths can't even pick locks, let alone any successful former thieves I have known. You will rarely see either not go directly for a destructive entry method even when trivial bypasses are available if one had bothered to research.

Lock picking is basically only found among the locksport community.

"In India, the software is not directly patented but it can be granted patent if it is attached with novel hardware, an invention that is unique and capable of industrial use."

So patenting a pure algo or data-structure will face legal hurdles.
It’s no more secure than the security isolation guarantees given by the GPU driver stack to a regular process. No more guarantees are provided than that.

Most U.S. live theater survives only through philanthropy. Broadway’s investor-driven model is a remarkable outlier.
Back when the Spanish had driven the Moors south monks were picking over the wonderful libraries they had left behind, one of the treasures they discovered was what we now call arabic numbers - but they screwed up, they took the numbers as they saw them whole into their writing system. They took numbers meant to be written in a right to left writing system into a left to right system without reversing them.

Writing numbers smallest digits first is particularly useful in business - when you add numbers together the result can be written in order, you don't have to guess and leave enough space for the answer to fit into.

But it's also screwed us over down the generations - it's the cause for our computers' big-endian vs. little-endian sillyness - took us a generation and we finally have decided that, well, the original arabic way of doing it was right
Actually I rather like it. In my first language it works like that too. In practice when I count, I say the full word up to 20, and then start saying “one”, “two”, until I get to thirty to save time. This feels more natural given that the full word for 21, 22, etc is “one-twenty”, “two-twenty”, etc, rather than “twenty-one” etc.

point is that it's not a closed system that just blows up at some point. as long as there are people interested in keeping bitcoin running - it will keep running. for now economic incentives are enough, and it'll probably be enough forever, worst case - ideological incentives will do it.
It's also weird for 50-59. English does not say "fourty twelve" ("quarante-douze").
I was talking about motivations for renting out, not attacking. A goverment would just take over the miners with violence probably if it wanted to attack the system.
Decred witch is a dao focused on evolving with governance had an interesting block reward split, 60% miners, 30% pos (you get chosen randomly) and 10% tresuary.

Seems miners have been driving the price down for years and a new proposal just was written to give them only 10%, and 80 to stakeholders.

https://proposals.decred.org/record/427e1d4
No one is talking about governance. The term "consensus" refers to the decision about which transactions to append to the ledger, and the decision is to go with whatever set of transactions the miner that has spent the most money has chosen. It has nothing to do with governance issues.
I know it's an irrational pet peeve, but i'd be happy if the German's (and others) would just stop using comma as decimal point.

Fun story I like to tell people about exactly this.

A little over a decade ago I was working a gig at the software subsidiary of a fairly large non-tech multinational. It was a lot of mostly nice people and a mix of skills and experience as you’d expect.

Anyway - there was a manager (M) on a project I was on who was.. unpleasant. They had quite an ego, and were very much the type to pass blame down the chain.

Regardless, there was a student on one of their projects who was struggling - I had spoken to this person a few times and they seemed eager enough to learn and had a friendly manner. I never worked with them directly so couldn’t comment on their capability - but even then, they were at the start of their career and still learning so obviously you would have tempered expectations.

Anyway, one day M comes in and people ask if newbie is out sick or is coming in later that day. M proudly exclaims that they won’t be coming back as they had a heart-to-heart the day before and M let them know that software development was not the career for them, that they didn’t have the right skills for it, and that they should pursue a career doing something else instead.

M was saying this with a grin, not out of malice, but as if they’d just saved this poor soul from wasting their time trying to succeed at a career that this expert of the craft could tell they were unfit for.

I was utterly dumbfounded that someone could be so incredibly conceited as to think they could possibly make a determination like that of someone just starting out that was getting no support from their boss.

I left soon after in no small part because I actually felt nauseous being around the person after that. I don’t think they stayed around for long but I heard from long-term folks in the same place that the distaste of this individual was fairly widespread.

tldr; we’re all just bags of meat, eating and pooping on a ball of rock flying through the cosmos. Be kind to people, and pull your head out of your ass.
I generally like to think about this from opposite direction: miners and bitcoin investors are incentivised for bitcoin to be used and for the price to go up.

Why miners? Because their main source of income is not the transaction fee, but basecoin, the guaranteed bitcoin payout for each mined block.

Due to Bitcoin being such a huge amount of money, unethical players do anything to lure people in, including MLM-style marketing, artificially inflating volume traded, and overplaying coin stats (like market cap). Then there's also media / influencers who, without second thought, introduce inexperienced people to investing in high-volatility assets.
Yes, it's a bit naive to ask "why they were initially conceived backwards"

But why it remains as such is just anachronistic ;) English inverted them back, so it is consistent with the rest of the > 100 numbers. (ok, the 0-20 range has exceptions in many languages, so it's fine)
Yeah, the insurance company isn't going to go out of its way to prove they should pay a claim. But it could be useful for a claimant trying to get compensated.
You're only asking this question because we're in a mass hysteria (see also: "mass formation"). Why didn't we do what you're suggesting during the HK flu in 1968-69? Because it simply wasn't very dangerous, and there isn't much to do about respiratory viruses, so we just took our lumps and got on with life without devastating liberty or the global economy.

We could have done that this time, too, and should have, but central planners needed something to use as an excuse to "reimagine" things without having to go through all the trouble of gaining our approval and consent.

People will now be able to perfectly manipulate their audience by deleting every unwanted comment and hiding behind the fact that dislikes not being present is not their fault. I'd argue that viewers need more protection than creators.
Exactly, so the point is that any relevant gestures must be coming from the timing used in an existing video, the current deepfake tech can manipulate lips and facial expressions, but it can't have the video lift three fingers at the proper time when "300" is being said.

So this is either an indication of a very elaborate deepfake which managed to surface an amazingly coincidental source video (which should be possible to find on her archives) or that it's not a deepfake but a real recording.
How to host a static site on bunny.net CDN with automatic deployment
Honestly, when it comes to most US locks, they really are a joke.

I learned to pick my parents safe and door locks by 8, and have taught dozens of children to pick virtually every lock you can find in a hardware store.

As a security engineer the first thing I teach peers isn't even software, but lock picking.

Peoples minds really open up when you show them how to open every lock in their own office in under an hour of training.

"Is security on almost everything we trust every day really this shit?!"

"Yes"

A whole page of benchmark results without even listing which x86 he was testing??? This varies a lot from one generation to the next and between Intel & AMD.

There are a ton of tradeoffs that have to be made in the microarchitecture and in general the focus is real code and normal expected sizes rather than benchmarks. Big page multiples are common and then variable sized calls that can be totally unaligned and random sizes.

A proper study of this would test a pile of different mixes of sizes and alignments and test on a bunch of different processor generations.

And then you get results where a hand coded memcpy loop is faster in benchmarks, but in practice in a big program you might find that 'rep movs' is better because of the smaller code footprint. When you only optimize the few cases that matter.

The general rule is that the compiler and system libraries do a really good job optimizing for processors that shipped 10 years ago. So architects get to make decisions about how to help these operations. You can add a nifty feature that makes it faster (like CLZERO) but while it is good for benchmarks it will takes years after you ship before normal programs benefit. You might optimized 'rep movs' but then you find that since it was slow in the past most real system librarys don't call it.
China just outright banned all residential satellite dishes in response to Starlink. Gotta keep the people under control after all.

Much has been made about LPL s and his astonishing skill, but I’d like to briefly mention my appreciation for LPL the showman.

I really think the style and format of his show makes it so incredibly watchable. I love his voice, the delivery, and the way he so articulately breaks down how he thinks and approaches problem solving. He really makes you feel like you could do it too.

It’s very subtle but as a showman he’s one of the alltime best on YouTube.
then if you're not talking about governance, you're still wrong. there's no voting, only if you insist on re-defining what words mean, at which point i won't be interested in continuing the discussion.
Interesting. I wonder if mmap+vmsplice instead of write would be better. Or plain spice.
Don't blame yourself if a book is verbose and tedious. Most books (and youtube videos) are 10% information and 90% padding.

@Ketan-fullstack & @jrussbowman Good luck with your projects. I sometimes wonder if us independent search engine developers should set up a discord or something to chat about what we're doing, because there are quite a few of us working on similar (but not necessarily competing) things.
You sound like you're not in a very good place at the moment, do you need someone to talk to?

If a company has enough resource to spend significantly on presentation such as packaging, then you can have good faith that the product is of better quality than its competitors. There's nothing complicated about it.
1. Break glass.

2. retreat to safe area.

3. look for security, or commotion.

4. Come back and loot the place.

5. #2 senerio. Just open the unlocked door, and loot the place while the family members are in the home.

(We had a mountian bike thief that did this senerio for years, and was never caught in my wealthy enclave. It's estimated he stole over a million plus dollars. I always thought it was a unhinged angry doctor, or a lawyer. Doctor's wives shoplift in huge numbers. It's a behavioral psychological thing. Ask any security guard who steals the most. They are never arrested because they spend a lot in stores. Nordstrom's turns in the minority shoplifters, but let go the white wealthy ones. How do I know? Used to be a Security guard, and hoping Nordstrom's would be outed by now.)

My native language is Dutch, but I've been living in an English speaking country for almost 10 years now. It's annoying to having to change my mindset whenever I visit friends and family in my native country.

In Belgium, we say 25 as "five and twenty" (same as German), which makes sense, but if you've been saying "twenty-five" for 10 years, it does throw you off.

Number of lines of code is a good metric for complexity. The hard part is estimating how many lines of code is reasonable for a specific feature. Some complexity is necessary. The problem is unnecessary complexity.

So, for contrast, my mental experience is mainly visual with some other constructed senses, and intermittent verbalizations. Sometimes the verbalizations are sentences. Sometimes they're phrases, or single words. Sometimes they're entirely absent.

Sometimes my mental experience is something I might call spatializations, rather than visualizations, especially when I'm solving problems with data structures. These will be 3-dimensional spatial arrangements of symbolic objects without any specific shapes, colors, or textures.

I've been a programmer and a technical writer for a little over thirty years. I have a lot of practice converting my thoughts into words. It's pretty much always a distinct conversion process, though. I usually cannot speak my thoughts because they mostly aren't words. I have to go through a process of translation to represent them as words.
