Nope. The OP pointed out that the author believes in some very obviously suspect things, which may not make him a reliable source for information on the education system (even if the article corresponds perfectly to the "why can't everybody be taught to read by their parents and then learn everything else through autodidacticism like me" viewpoint which is popular here)

Ironically, the original article is the one trying to divide people into thoughtless drones that never question the dominant narrative and other people like the author himself. Got to say, that if mindless acceptance of an extraordinary claim made by (checks) a programmer's blog is the sort of critical thinking that can be expected from those too independent for the schooling system, I'll settle for being a mindless drone

(PhDs being the most vaccine hesitancy is something of a tangent, though it doesn't really support the contention in the original argument that education breeds only conformity, or say anything about whether people with relevant PhDs' myriad of reasons for being more cautious about novel vaccines has anything to do with the credulity involved in believing vaccines have killed 25k people despite the lack of evidence)
From 1998 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/0307945980841929..., page S50, Figure 4: BIVAL vv (late 70s) then RISPENS vv+ (early 90s). The text:

"The three major pathotype shifts are:

(1) from m MDV to v MDV strains in the late
1950s;

(2) from v MDV to vv MDV in the late 1970s;

(3) the appearance of the putative vv + pathotype
in the early 1990s (Figure 4).

Each occurrence has been associated with greater disease losses which have persisted until introduction of the next generation of vaccine. The reason for the shifts remain speculative. Shifts in the 1970s and 1990s may have been in response to certain MD vaccines. Kreager (1996) has suggested vaccines may have only a 10-year useful life before new strains evolve. The shift in the 1950s occurred prior to vaccine use, but may have been related to changes in poultry husbandry, especially the move towards larger houses and the increasing density of poultry operations in certain geographic regions"

m = mild, v = virulent, vv = very virulent, vv+ = very virulent plus, as explained on page S46, Table 1.

To be very clear, Marek is not covid. I am drawing no equivalence. I just point out that Andrew Read's 2021 articlet is built around a weak argument.
Also from Germany, I have to disagree. The models pretty much nailed the 4th wave down to a T. Missed it by one or two weeks. Based on the assumption nothing was dine against it. Nothing was done against it. The models are good, they are just not used to prepare or base decisions upon them.

Would agree. I smoke about 5-6 turkeys a year. I’ve got it down pretty well.

However I rarely do it for thanksgiving if extended family are coming (at least the wrong ones).

I’ve had them freak out a out the juice, about the little “done timer” not going off, about internal color etc.

In one case I had an aunt demand it go into an oven and sure enough overcooked it (which is why I now often don’t make one for extended family).

People do similar with pork and ribs and such. I’ve never had an issue and still cook my meat to certain temps etc. but it’s one of those things everyone’s an expert on.

I will say that those that have eaten my smoked turkey, ribs, Boston butt etc tend to like it, if not prefer it, but that’s never been enough to deter some naysayers.

That said, it’s also why I like dark meat. Can’t stand dry meat that’s not jerky.

>94% vaccinated in Ireland, and we're still hoarding boosters, and demonising the unvaccinated.

Meanwhile, our schools remain fully packed, with no additional resources for air quality, and the government have even told schools not to inform parents of COVID cases in classrooms.

In all seriousness, I found myself wondering about those numbers before; but consider that there's on the order of 10^27 atoms in your body. So, if we assume a trillion neutrinos in your body, that indicates that for each neutrino in your body, there are 10^15 atoms - that's one part per quadrillion! A machine capable of detecting neutrinos in your body would need to be _unimaginably_ sensitive, before even considering the intrinsic difficulty in detecting them due to low mass and neutral charge.

For me (both logged in and not), for many short & simple tech queries Google fares better than competition (for example, googling some package name or API method shows GitHub repo or official docs as first link, while in DDG it's often not the case).

On the other hand, for slightly more complex queries, in last months there's been an enormous flood of low quality GitHub / StackOverflow / blog post copy-pasta spam pages.

And overall Google quality is really getting worse for discoverability of internet gems or interesting pages with good writing; unless you use specific unique keywords (site's unique name etc.) and/or heavily use double-quotes, it will find SEO-optimized pages with low quality.

At the moment you have to fill a PLF (passenger locator form) at arrival so you can be tracked and people you met contacted in case you develop covid symptoms.

Considering Belgium specifically https://www.info-coronavirus.be/en/travels/:

Check which COVID certificate you have at www.covidsafe.be. In principle, you have applied for this before you left. There are three types of certificates:

A vaccination certificate proves that you have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. You are fully vaccinated 2 weeks after your last vaccination dose and if the vaccine is EMA-certified or Covishield. From 1 September, vaccination certificates from non-EU countries will also be accepted in Belgium under certain conditions, pending their equivalence agreement with the EU.
A recovery certificate shows that you have recovered from COVID-19. You have a positive PCR test result no older than 180 days and you no longer need to isolate.
A test certificate is proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test result that is less than 72 hours old or RAT test result that is taken the day before or the day of arrival.

So she was allowed to leave, catch covid abroad and get back.

I know.

I was also surprised (ENRAGED) to realize that our sanitary pass allow(ed) vaccinated people to attend mass events or restaurants or places where that pass is mandatory even if they have covid symptoms or are under quarantine.

Apparently US citizens undergo a mandatory tests at arrival and must be fully vaccinated. From: https://unitedstates.diplomatie.belgium.be/en/coronavirus-co...

As of November 8, 2021, all fully vaccinated persons are able to travel from Belgium to the U.S. The details on the proof of vaccination and the pre-departure COVID-test are explained on the website of the U.S. Department of State.

U.S. residents are eligible to travel from the U.S. to Belgium, if they are fully vaccinated and have a valid vaccination certificate. We recommend you take all available proof of vaccination with you when traveling, both the CDC card and – when available – State-issued certificates. Please note that airlines decide under which conditions they carry passengers. We recommend you enquire about those conditions before booking your flight.

Upon arrival in Belgium, travelers undergo a mandatory test on day 1 and on day 7. Depending on your vaccination status, you should stay in quarantine for 2 or 10 days. Unvaccinated travelers can only travel in very exceptional circumstances, listed here.

Belgium is highly dnse and there are a lot of people moving in and out of the country. Short term, I think we are fucked and I am beginning to wonder if/how I should plan to isolate for the next three months.

Only recently did the headlines went from "there a no scientific evidences for a third dose" to "WE NEED EVERYONE TO GET A THIRD DOSE ASAP".
> I think many developers treat PRs as an opportunity to gatekeep.

An open-source maintainer should be gate-keeping the project.

Open source is great in that it enables many people to suggest improvements, but the PRs should be viewed as a proposal for collaboration.

Not all PRs are created equal. Far from it. They span a very wide range of quality. Letting every PR into the project will quickly accumulate a lot of technical debt and place even more burden on the maintainers to do further work to undo the backwards steps of the bad PRs.

When keeping quality high (or even just average), gatekeeping isn't inherently a bad thing.
[Edit: I wrote some stuff earlier based on other PRs that were done even worse, before I found #3926, so I’ve deleted that other stuff as unlikely to be what’s referred to.]

I’m guessing this is about https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/3926.

I can well understand this being knocked back; as a non-user of macOS I would knock it back too. The main proposed option is frankly a fairly poor reimplementation of the logo and loses too much of the character of the original logo. A more conservative adjustment might stand a better chance. (chrisduerr also quibbles over the idea of maintaining different icon graphics for different platforms, but I suspect this may be more a further complaint about something that he’s otherwise already not happy with: that if the proposed icon was actually true to the Alacritty logo he wouldn’t object so much, though it’s still not an entirely unreasonable complaint—Apple are probably going to change their style in another year or two anyway.)

Admittedly the current icon isn’t great, because it’s taking the full width available to it, where native square icons look to go for 10% border on each side. I imagine you might have much more success just fixing the icon’s scaling (e.g. down to 90%—because it’s not square, 80% would probably be too far).

You could also try adjusting the aspect ratio just a bit, slightly squarer, but leaving everything else the same—that’d be about as conservative as you could get while still varying it for macOS. That’d make it a fair test of the idea whether chrisduerr is actively against having different source icons for different platforms.
It has been a long time but I seem to recall the Atari and Commodore systems were practically clones of each other. I remember this because all the good games appeared at retailers simultaneously for both systems and I was an unfortunate(or fortunate) child of the 80s who's father was of the opinion that the Texas Instruments offering was a "Far better Machine" and that he "Wouldn't waste money on a gaming system!"...."Far better Machine" is exactly what he also said about Beta Vs. VHS too!

I must say I would thank him now if I could for not buying a "game machine" as I believe it prevented my brain from developing as many addictive synapsis at such an early age.
Common theme in open source: contributor doesn't agree with maintainer feedback, becomes petty, takes ball and goes home. Most of the time this is solved by patience and leaving ego at the door. Or forking.

That github link refers to a better write-up https://sansec.io/research/cronrat (which the bleepingcomputer article rehashes, because hey, this is 2021 and ad views is the goal...).

> CronRAT’s main feat is hiding in the calendar subsystem of Linux servers (“cron”) on a nonexistant day. This way, it will not attract attention from server administrators. And many security products do not scan the Linux cron system.

It also seems to be trying to sell their "eComscan" product, which is a vulnerability scanner dedicated to eCommerce... what a weird specialization.
Is there an official list somewhere? I’ve looked and been unable to find one that contained permanent medical conditions that would prevent all of the available COVID vaccines.
> This is not as strong a conclusion as it first sounds, for two reasons.

1. This says nothing about Vitamin D as a cure once you got infected. It might work, or it might not, but this study simply does not address the question at all.

Huh? Everyone I know who thinks vitamin D might be helpful says you need to supplement with it on a consistent, ongoing basis, not try to take big catch-up doses once you get sick or wind up in the hospital. Given how safe and cheap it is (and that adequate vitamin D levels may be associated with a range of other improved health outcomes as well), even a 25% reduction in those risks would be a big deal.
Making a PoC is a proactive way of tackling the problem. Thanks!
> It requires such drastic change in lifestyle

Of course not.

This is a political problem, not a technological one.

We can pretty much see how a zero carbon energy future can be realized, if there is just the political will to allow it to happen.

Solar is already close to beating fossil fuels in pure cost terms, without subsidies. And we are a long, long way from maxing out the potential of harnessing solar energy.

And then there's nuclear to see us through until storage is good enough to supply all our needs from solar. Again it's political stupidity failing to see that the risks of nuclear power are minuscule compared to the threat of carbon.

Tesla is probably the most popular car manufacturer in the world. And the other major automobile manufacturers are pushing hard in developing new electric vehicles. Building out fast recharging stations is not a complicated technical problem. Except for reducing the charging time, but I'm confident that will improve as well. So again, migrating to electric vehicles is a political and cultural problem, not a technical one.

I really so no reason at all why lifestyle needs to degrade at all to get off of fossil fuels. We have a road map to solve every single one of the technology problems. We just need the dumb politicians (and voters) to get out of the way.
Uh, kinda feel like you can do anything you want for a project you maintain.

I jumped on the train recently after the wife suggested it. And have heard some promising info from watching some John Campbell's videos and a bit of googling around about it. Been taking 4000/day since August and do feel better overall. Haven't caught any colds yet (knock on wood). From what I had read, 4000 was the max suggested amount to be safe. I'm hoping that I won't get any bad colds this winter by doing this.
Interesting, but I think it's exactly opposite - I would think using water at 4C (the densest water gets) would give you the lowest brew temperature.

With water at 4C, puts the most water inside the pressure chamber, leading to the greatest pressure change for a given delta(T). Instead, if the water is just below boiling, the water going through the grinds must be higher than 100 C (since the pressure raises the boiling point).

It'll brew faster, and there is an argument to be made that quicker brews lead to less burning. But the T would be highest.

I agree. Properly brined turkey cooked to an appropriate temperature (based on the part of the bird, not the CDC) has an excellent flavor. Turkey breast, in particular, is much much more flavorful than chicken breast.
That's perfectly fair, then.

I'll simply use services that fall more in line with what i want and i urge others to do the same, to better suit their needs and avoid the possibility of some very unpleasant financial circumstances down the road, at least as far as personal projects are concerned. Hence the list of some lovely providers in the post above.

They'll simply continue to work with their current approaches to billing, missing out on the 0.01% (read: humorous made up figure to not create the impression that i believe that huge platforms should work like i expect them to, my ego isn't that huge) or so of additional income that they'd get by catering to all of the people like me in the world. That's the beauty of a (mostly) free market - supply and demand.
> Upliftment is not providing bare essentials to the enslaved. We’ve already seen this happen with British colonies, where they aimed to “tame the savages”, but just enough to make sure they stay enslaved.

Yup thats why africa only gets food, water and shelter and no one there gets internet, access to loans, secondary education or else the slaves would revolt i suppose?

What an insane idea, helping them with development aid and causing measurable increases in human developement is somehow opression. What could we possibly have done that's not somehow opression then? Leaving them alone? Opression. Helping them? Opression. Perhaps we should have nuked afrika, the middle east and most of asia when we had the chance, can't opress dead people.

In the case of philosophy, any semblance of it in the systems we're talking about is strictly post hoc: there was no "philosophy" involved -- only politics and the egos of those involved (see: Frederick William III).

The primary catalyst for "Prussian Schooling Reforms" was Frederick William III's defeat to Napoleon at Jena, and all that ensued after. Prussia's new "soldier unit" schooling system was a reaction to this.

It is inseparable from "Prussian ideals" (or more accurately, ends and means that are strictly "Prussian"). The ends involved with the "Prussian Schooling Reforms" were to create an underclass of citizens that could be used to fulfill the state's ends. The corresponding means was the schooling system.

In the case of the U.S., the ends were to enrich its proponents, and give them a bigger "power base." The "adoption" of the "Prussian Schooling System" was the means to this end.

The ends are very similar, and of a similar "family."

This is a messy conversation, only because the idea of "ideals" and "philosophy" are always post hoc. Rarely does any public policy anywhere stem from "ideals" or "philosophy" -- those are always selling points, and even red herrings, to rally others under a single banner to reach a certain end.

One of the best returns on investment the U.S. government could make would probably be to pour money into ramping up vaccine production to give to poor countries. I believe the cost would be tiny relative to the economic risk of allowing more mutations and continued spread of Covid.
