This post fails to speak to me on two fronts:

* The `nix` crate is a cornerstone of the Rust development ecosystem: if you do anything that requires POSIX or various *nix-specific APIs beyond those wrapped by the standard library, then `nix` most likely provides a high-level and safe wrapper for them. Perfectionism is a virtue in this context, one that keeps large parts of the Rust ecosystem from accidentally consuming buggy code. The author unfortunately chose a particularly messy and bug-prone corner of the POSIX APIs to wrap, and ran into a correspondingly intensive review process. I've merged simpler wrappers[1][2] with no fuss.

* Alacritty seems to work just fine. I switched to it about two months ago, after using nothing but (heavily customized) rxvt-unicode for a decade. Maybe it's because I don't use ligatures or images in my terminals (I thought we were talking about non-"toy" functionality!), but I haven't found myself wanting for anything beyond what Alacritty already does. And the scrollback seems to work nicely. To summarize: where's the tragedy?

Mine came out kind of overdone, yeah; I was trusting the little plastic popup thermometer doohickey that came with the bird. Guessing those are designed more with safety in mind than flavor.
You are confusing what the politician said with the models.
Even now parties like the FDP are blocking the possibility of lockdowns just for the sake of it and not based on any scientific model.
After the pro-EU Ukrainians ignited the Euromaidan movement (to remove a Kremlin aligned president) a civil war started in Ukraine. At that point Putin supported one side of the war and got Crimea for almost nothing. There's also the closely related Donbas war which never stopped. So he got the first place at it.

USA has lost its image of "being the police of the world" and the countries that depend on that image are suffering. Their future looks quite grim. Besides that, Taiwan isn't recognized by the UN since 1971 and by the IOC since 1981. The west didn't react back then either.

Those popup done-indicators are pretty unreliable; I'm not sure why turkeys ship with them, I imagine they've ruined a great many birds.

I cooked the turkey last year. My thermometer said it was good, but that popup hadn't popped.

I knew those popup indicators were unreliable, but the fear of feeding people raw poultry compelled me to put it in the oven for another long while. It came out dry and stringy and the damn timer still didn't pop.
Note that 145 will make dark meat taste kinda raw so don't try this temperature on a whole bird.

155 to 160 can be kindof a trade-off if you want to do the whole bird. Government guidelines are 165 minimum but when going over 160, white meat starts to get noticeably dry. Still, if you really want to follow government guidelines, sous vide to 165 and not one degree more is not that bad compared to oven until center is 165 which puts outer meat at like 180 or more and clearly overcooked.

Since there are probably young people reading this, or parents of young people (teach them this): Do not give out you SSN to anyone except the government, and try every possible way to avoid giving it out to anyone else.

Paper forms ask for it all the time, leave it blank. In fact, leave as much blank on any form as possible (I have never been asked for info that I've left blank).

Cell phone companies and utility providers ask for it, instead offer to pay a deposit or go post-paid.

I haven't tried this before, but my understanding is that U.S. law requires banks to have a unique personal identifier number for its customers. Banks default to SSNs, but the law does not specify it has to be a SSN. Try to create an account in-person and use a Driver License number.

If I have any incorrect understandings, please reply with your knowledge; or if you have any further ideas, please reply with your advice. Thank you.

Edit: removed idea about not getting a SSN for kids. Sounds like way more hassle than any potential benefit.

You say “real fix”, but this is a fantasy.
> But the underdeveloped world has also been benefited by the developed world.

Nobody is arguing that there aren’t potential benefits to the oppressed side. Slaves in the colonial days were also kept alive, housed, and fed.

But, since you’re talking about the knowledge and industrial revolutions, do consider that the former is a mutual exchange of ideas which has benefited all (not purely from the developed to the developing) and for the latter, it’s mostly the developing manufacturing for the developed, to this day!

Asia and Africa both had very advanced medical tools, machine, and philosophical and societal structures, which the West adopted innumerable ideas from. The developing countries have had civilisations that benefited their populace, and have had others that resulted in violence and death (just like the West).

I think the main problem with your viewpoint, like the other commenter said, is the false dichotomy you present between colonial oppression and no-contact outcomes.

Moreover, your understanding of world history reeks of “white saviour” principle. Hope you educate yourself one day!

That works, at the expense of possibly hiding bugs in plain sight. Macros are a double edged sword in that sense, you can almost but not quite create a DSL on top of C that is a lot more safe but it has its drawbacks, and you need to be very good at mentally modeling macro expansion to read and debug code like that in order to ensure that it does what it seems to be saying that it will do.

...or get fired because of vaccine mandates. Let's not forget about that, because it really does put the lie to the underlying concern here. Are folks worried about "health system collapse", or are they just indiscriminately terrified?

If you're truly worried about the former, then it probably doesn't make a ton of sense to place a vaccination mandate on a group of people who largely got infected and recovered early in the pandemic -- at least offer recognition of natural immunity for health care workers!

I religiously set a timer when I start my Bialetti. But like most things done religiously, you will eventually forget. First it produced the coffee. Then the heat rose up to the upper level, boiled the coffee, and sprayed it all out the spout, onto the stove and the wall behind it. Also, it melted the rubber gasket. I was alerted to the smell of burning coffee and rubber.

Luckily, I got everything cleaned up, and made a new gasket from bike innertube rubber, which worked OK. Then I discovered that I could buy a new gasket. One sign of a classic product is when you can buy spare parts for it.
When did I claim such a thing? I claimed that the transaction fees were getting to fractions of cents.
> [...] this has been well studied and widespread vaccination absolutely would help reduce the rate of mutation.

I don't understand how this could be. Studies have shown that peak viral load is the same for vaccinated/unvaccinated, that means roughly the same number of replicative cycles in vaccinated as in unvaccinated. Each replication is a chance for the virus to aquire mutations, so same number of replicative cycles in vaccinated/unvaccinated means same rate of mutation in vaccinated/unvaccinated.
Until recently, I've always thought one of the pillars of western society was that we rarely have to interact with government and be subject to the whims of government bureaucracy. Basically, this is the only way to live with how bad bureaucracy is and how poorly it serves edge cases. Your example - "if you're not in the system you don't exist" is exactly why nobody should be prevented from going about their lives at the whims of government provided data. I actually think this should be a fundamental freedom.
In our case (two person household), it makes much more sense to pay $4 to rent movies individually. We watch about four movies per month, so this gives us access to virtually every movie ever at a cost equivalent to a Netflix subscription. In addition, it greatly cuts down on the effort that it takes to find a movie that we're both interested in seeing. TV is different, because the cost of renting a season is still insane. I think the real value in subscribing to streaming services right now is the TV shows.
In general you can travel in and out of Europe (as a resident) by showing a documentation of vaccination or a clean test. I would guess she did a test in Egypt on return that was negative.

The first case in HK only showed up on fourth PCR test on a fully vaccinated individual in mandatory quarantine.
The 165 guideline is for instantaneous heat. With sous-vide, you pasteurize to the same degree with lower heat for a longer time.

# Here are some of the things that I've done. Here's to hoping it's effective.

1) Everyone uses Bitwarden[0] to store their passwords. We have an Organisation account which makes sharing passwords easy. I check master passwords against HaveIBeenPwned, and ask they use the generated Bitwarden passwords for their accounts.

2) The least tech-saavy amongst my family either get Chromebooks (which I despise because Google), or they get a Windows machine that I lock down pretty hard [1]. The lock-down may look draconian to power users, but they've yet to mention they can't do something they want to.

3) Its listed in the link in (2), but I make sure everyone runs uBlock Origin. It's far more useful than an antivirus.

4) I have a few catch-all emails I encourage my family to use for subscriptions. When asked for an email, use [website name]@[family member code].[domain].[tld]. That way, unless spearfished, you're likely to know the true providence of an email.

5) We have a NAS that is 3-2-1 backed-up, and encourage everyone to keep sensitive information there. Hopefully this is enough to avoid cryptolockers extorting us.

# Things I want to do

5) It would be better if we used one of those self-hosted random email generators to prevent maliciously constructed email domains at our catch-all instilling false confidence.

6) I'd like to install PiHole [2].

7) I have a Twilio number that goes straight to voice mail and sends me the audio files and forwards SMS. I'd like to create these for my family (maybe using extension numbers?) so they can use them on forms.

Correct, was just going to post this. This is why sous vide is so fantastic.
I’d say sure it’s under control, I question the infection numbers and deaths. Then again maybe they’re posting the real numbers because they’re so good. But I’m not sure I buy that.
> It is absolutely clear at this point that these vaccines will not eradicate covid. [...]

> The 1918 flu pandemic ended without a vaccine. Covid will pass as well.

You're begging the question here. As best as we can tell, variants tend to come up when individual people mount a marginally effective immune response to the virus -- just enough to keep it in check but not enough to eradicate it. Effectively, they become a walking "gain of function" experiment.

Vaccines help at the outset by strengthening the immune response. They also help on a statistical basis by simply reducing the background rate of covid in a society. Given the development of new mutations with vaccine availability, we'd be likely to see as many or more mutations without widespread vaccination. If "covid will pass" without vaccination, then it will pass faster with, and the reverse implication is not necessarily true.

Remember, while the media often calls variants of concerns "vaccine escapes," the real effect is immune escape. If a new variant is more likely than average to cause a breakthrough case in a vaccinated person, it's also more likely than average to cause a reinfection in a recovered person.

If you want to be optimistic, then you can still hold out hope that new, more infectious variants may be less severe. The "human gain of function experiment" process for creating variants would select for both infectivity and non-severity. However, I do not have any data on the relative severity of B.1.1.529, and summer/early fall reporting on Delta suggested that it tended to cause somewhat more severe illness than Covid Classic.
Yes. Correlation does not implies causation. People with any kind of vitamin deficiency are probably less careful with their own health. There are many variables that must be removed before we can finally say anything with confidence about any vitamin and COVID-19.

> Describing some code as "bug-ridden garbage" betrays a negatively judgmental frame of mind

Far from it. In fact, the best thing about a correctness-oriented language like Rust is that you can immediately tell when stuff does not compute (the compiler will error out with a useful diagnostic, or else it will be in a small 'unsafe' block with easy to check safety conditions). Which makes it way easier to be less judgmental about all sorts of stuff.
Skipping setting up a SSN for your child seems like it’s going to set them up for major headaches once they’re older.

The idiomatic way would be to exit the array paradigm and use an imperative (while.) or functional (recursion) method. APL and J both have "repeat until convergence" functionality, which stops when the same result is returned twice in a row, but to use this you'd have to artificially create a result that changes each time.

When designing BQN I embraced the limited nature of array primitives, so that most primitives can only implement efficiently parallelizable programs and none of them can perform infinite loops. Flip this around and you get guarantees: if you create a function by composing primitives you know it will halt, and if you avoid using modifiers in complicated ways it's easy to prove good sequential and parallel bounds on the runtime.[0] Although BQN has no tail recursion (J also doesn't; Dyalog does), it's possible to implement loop functionality that uses only logarithmic stack space in the number of iterations, with low overhead (I just measured 30ns/iteration in CBQN for a simple incrementing loop).[1]

I've watched plenty of really good software where the dev process amounts to:

1. Integrate code that is more experimental into the
development trunk

2. Let people discover what is wrong with it

3. Fix and iterate it

4. Release.

The approach on some open source projects amount to:

1. Refuse to integrate code until every conceivable thing is thought out and dealt with. Burn through and push away tons of contributors in the process

2. Integrate code (or sometimes just give up and throw it away!)

3. Discover there were bugs in it anyway, because no code is perfect. Fix them.

4. Release

I would put money the releases put out by projects that spend years arguing to get PR's "correct" are not of any higher quality (by bug rate, etc) than the ones that accepted more experimental code and iterated it in the codebase. In fact, i'll put money they are worse.

One (of many) reasons is that the former process is one where people are expected to fix bugs and issues after integration, and that their job does not end when the code is integrated. This matches reality - bugs will be found, issues will be discovered, etc.

The latter process often makes people feel like once it's "ready", it's "ready", and it's done. That just doesn't end up true in practice unless it's a remarkably simple system. (or you have highly verifiable systems/process)
