How does longer lives translate into fewer deaths per year? I understand how extending everyone’s life say 1 year starting tomorrow means fewer deaths (i.e. zero) next year, but after that it’s back to the same rate in deaths per year.

Understand that I’m in favor of people living long and healthy lives, but even if everyone maxed out at 120 years of lifespan the deaths per year will be equal to the number of people reaching 120 years old, and that is determined by how many people were born 120 years before.
That's a shame - like so many other closed source systems, acquisitions followed by sun-setting and all that hard (and smart) work eventually gone!

It's impressive that this software is long deceased and still people hold it dear - that's QUALITY, hard to find in today's world of half-baked, half-finished things designed to fail as soon as they're out of warranty.

On the technical side I wonder how the pre-emptive multi-tasking was realised without a MMU, i.e. pre-386? I heard QMX also had that, but it seems tricky to provide that in a stable manner without memory protection.
> Her father ran a small shop which went bankrupt because he was closed at lunch times and weekends

That only means that her father was crazy, I don't know a single shop that closes during lunch time. The smaller places I know intentionally shift their opening hours to explicitly open early, during lunch or during closing hours.

> and only took cash

Afaik most electronic payment providers require that you hide their transaction fees in the normal price, so a shop that doesn't offer electronic payments can be cheaper. However most places support contact less payments so that must have been some years ago.
I'll leave it up to the reader to dismiss any claims made in that post. But you must admit there's a big difference between "I volunteered at a prison, and this is what I personally saw happening often" and "I volunteered at a prison, and this is what the warden told me when I asked." The first one is at least direct evidence.
It's not only that everyone except webdevs are "morons", but also the aspect of all these "morons" not "deserving" to make a good living. The first is a technical determination; the second is a moral / ethical / value judgment. The first is hilariously erroneous, but never mind that; my point is that the second, all by itself, is totally unsupported, wildly biased, and... Well, all in all, feels pretty despicable. "Evil" is too grand a word; it's just asshole.
That is a great hack actually! But which compiler is that?

This is what puzzles me about Apple, they absolutely have the capability to mitm iMessage pretty discreetly. Because Apple just completely hand waves away key distribution and they can silently add and remove keys at their leisure it's largely only policy that underpins their security. They're not Telegram, they aren't structured to be in a position to be able to ignore demands from the justice system to assist with some agent's latest fishing expidition. How are they getting away with not providing stuff that they obviously have access to? The PDF lists "Pen Register: no capability"

Fig. 7 is definitely where it's at -- I had the same question, as a camera is not just a lens, but a camera obscura[1], both the lens and the 'dark box' within which an image is formed.

My impression is that their metasurface lens has approximately a 1 mm focal-length. In the diagram, the light appears to pass through an intermediate focus at that distance, which they then pick up with another optical system for control/convenience.

I don't see anything that would, in principle, prevent using the metasurface lens as a component of a tiny camera. Nature has certainly evolved imaging systems that are smaller and modern sensor technology permits wavelength-scale pixels. With maximum charity, it appears that this lens/methodology might be used to yield a ~1-2 Mpx imaging system with a 1 mm f/2 optical system.

The claimed advance here appears to be that the combination of their lens and processing yields higher quality imaging at these physical scales than prior work.

It does indeed appear that in combination with a tiny imaging sensor, this lens could yield a camera the size of a large salt-grain.

This entire field of engineering appears to be in a golden decade; it may not be too long before we start seeing metasurface optics in consumer imaging products.

That's in itself a very Japanese thing - making a big declaration, that you "will retire for good, no coming back, ever", but let 3-4 years pass and you're back as if you've never made the declaration.
Also happens a lot with Japanese pop bands, they do huge "farewell" shows, there is monthlong talk about how they'll split and pursue other careers, but what actually happens they just take a 1-2 year break.
I've come to the conclusion that the "we retire" trick is simply a marketing ploy because it gets the attention of the Japanese domestic audience like nothing else.

> I know of very few cases in which privatization of something publicly run has benefitted the public.

this has never been a "publicly" run company in the way you describe it. It has always been a private limited company.

The issue of concern here is that it is going from a private limited company where the shareholders are mostly to do with the rpi foundation, meaning that there is some chance that all the profit generated goes back to the foundation.

If its a public company, unless there are strict rules, it'll be open to shareholders buying control and changing the purpose of the trading company to something other than a tool to generate income for the foundation.

However thats not a given yet. I really hope that its something that is beneficial to the foundation.

Actually he has correct perspective. Yes, more older people die. But higher risk to die young should be not overlooked. I never thought that I could die because of simple respiratory illness. I have been sick many times but each time I assumed that regardless of the seriousness of the illness, I will recover. COVID-19 puts it into different perspective.
That kind of makes it even better satire.

Thank you for your informative reply.

You are right, regular (as in, weekly or more frequently) testing should also prove effective at preventing the spread amongst both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

But, the key there is you would have to trust people to do the right thing, and actually get tested, and isolate if they test positive. I'm not confident that enough people who won't get vaccinated would comply with that.

And you are misusing statistics when you say that a greater growth of cases amongst the vaccinated proves the vaccine doesn't prevent the spread. Everyone knows the vaccine doesn't 100% prevent you catching covid, no surprise there. But it does slow it somewhat, and most crucuially it does greatly reduce your chances of dying or being hospitalized. I'm too lazy to link references, but a quick google would show you plenty of reputable sources with statistics showing you are much safer vaccinated than unvaccinated.

Regarding the greater growth of cases amongst the vaccinated, many, many things explain this. For a start, 76% of Canada's population is vaccinated. So, if the vaccine had no effect then you'd expect 76% of all new cases would be amongst the vaccinated. You stated the actual measure is 53%, so clearly the vaccine is preventing a lot of the spread.

But in the end of the day, setting aside the whole issue of should the vaccine should be mandated or not, disagreeing with the mandate is not a valid reason to not get vaccinated. Just get vaccinated. Once you disregard all the crazy, crazy conspiracy theories about the vaccine "magentizing" your body, or changing your DNA or causing infertility then you are left with a real, but infantesimal risk of a bad reaction to the vaccine. A rational comparison of the risks of getting vaccinated vs the risks of not getting vaccinated cleary shows there is no valid reson to not get vaccinated except a tiny fraction of people who cannot get vaccinated due to valid medical advice.
WW1 had a strong effect too.

Author here - I don't think this is an issue.

If you don't use submatching, you can just compute the minimal DFAs and compare them to test for equivalence, and you don't even need negation. Thus, introducing negation can't do any harm there.

But as I generate Mealy machines for submatching, which can't be minimised, we need another approach. Knowing that A - B = A ∧ ¬B, one can produce a DFA for (A - B) ∨ (B - A), and if it has no accepting states, then A and B must be equivalent, as nothing can match one but not both. But DFA construction is O(2ⁿ), even if one takes the RE → NFA → DFA route, so this is nothing new complexity-wise.

Such a decision procedure is never used in a derivative-based regex implementation, anyway. The equivalence of regular expressions only needs to be approximated, and the approximation consists of some structural rules (see Definition 4.1 of [1]). Relatively few rules are needed to guarantee that a _finite_ machine can be generated, and only a dozen rules are required to get very close to a minimal DFA (table 1, page 14 of [1]). So having the possibility of writing a precise regex equivalence function is completely irrelevant to producing an efficient regex engine.

A decision procedure is handy, but you can write one for submatch-less regexes without negation, the complexity of such a procedure is typical for DFA construction, and the problem of deciding if two regular expressions are equivalent is irrelevant.

This fall I have found better results for some queries using search.marginalia.nu

For day to day work I use a mainstream engine like DDG first but they are insanely bad when it comes to respecting my queries. Earlier I used to fall back to Google who are equally bad but sometimes have slightly different results.

Now I also fall back to search.marginalia.nu for certain types of queries since if it knows about the topic at all the pages it ranks on top are often far better than what Google and DDG comes up with.

Another important thing is that with marginalia I know within a second if it had results. With DDG and Google I have to peek into every result to see if it is spam or ham. (There used to be that the preview snippets on front of Google showed where in the text the result came from but that probably was too useful and led to fewer ad impressions so they removed it.)

Every once in a while when I'm using a common unix command, I find myself randomly re-encountering the frame of mind that I was in, the world outlook I had, and the sense of amazement I experienced when I first learned it as a kid. A sudden and explicable feeling awe at the breathtaking pervasive power of "cat" or "ls" or "echo" and how they fit together, and the very idea of a shell with commands and files and directories that you could name, look at, change, and move around. Remembering the excitement of discovering and fitting a new important puzzle piece into the growing model of what I was learning.

I am not taking these things as gospel, I’m not sure why it’s hard to grasp that you can hold different pieces of information at different levels of trustworthiness. Of course whatever that person said is hearsay, I’m not gonna form an inviolable judgement on stripe just from it. It’s another piece of information though.

The comparison of power usage is often done in the context of external memory. When talking about in-chip memory it becames an apples to orange comparison.

For start, it doesn't make sense to power gate a SRAM. So they are always leaking power. And despite writes not being common, reads are. Most application with SRAM reads all the metadata in parallel looking for a match (and often the data too due timing constraints and increased size of control logic because the extra complexity). And reading uses power.
