Every development was new at some point. The space for parking wasn't public until the developer signed it over.

And maintenance costs money, but the increased tax revenue from the development more than offsets that. Which is why the city/ state is willing to accept maintenance responsibility for it as part of the dedication.

>that land could be better allocated to economically productive use.

Maybe, but it's not what it was deeded for.

But you actually see a lot of this nowadays, where the development doesn't dedicate the right of way to the public and assumes its own maintenance costs, specifically because they don't want to lose long term control over how the land is used.

If people keep seeing public on-street parking as a free lunch to turn into mass transit or bike lanes, you'll start seeing more and more private street developments.
Very thought-provoking this mistreatment of the unvaccinated.

The process started with demonizing them to the point of being singled out and blamed for how the disease is impacting society. When the discrimination started, there were very few willing to speak for them.
Particularly malicious was the expansion of the term anti-vaxxer typically used for a fringe minority which “rejects all vaccines for everyone” to all of those that “reject one single vaccine for themselves”.

Now a measure that will come too late and impact the entirety of society is sold as a means of finally forcing them to conform.

From the outside, this may look like a perfectly executed propaganda campaign. One can’t exclude that the government (like the Canadian gov which actually got caught I believe) took advantage of the chaos and flexed its propaganda muscles a bit. But the more scary possibility is that a frightened and manipulated population + incompetent government in CYA mode is enough to try to override the constitutional principle of bodily integrity.

And it’s precisely this principle which seems to be the last thing preventing the state from forcing or punishing the unvaccinated too hard, limiting them to a fine.
You feel like Germany is lacking basic strategy?

I'm Czech and we wish here we would be as prepared and forward thinking as your representatives are.
If it was not for one of the highest rate of ICU beds per capita in the world and all the high quality nurses and doctors we export to Germany, our health care would have already crumbled.

Funny coincidence, that's exactly what the vast majority of compiler code is for, with tens (or hundreds) of thousands of man-years of work spent on that.

This is not an official warning from the "American Heart Association".

This is not even an article published in a peer review journal of the "American Heart Association".

The "American Heart Association" made a conference and later published all the abstracts of the talks/posters https://www.ahajournals.org/toc/circ/144/Suppl_1 This is in the section "ARTERIOSCLEROSIS, THROMBOSIS, VASCULAR BIOLOGY (222)"

Note that in many conferences the peer review process is very week or inexistent. It the abstract barely makes sense, they will allow the talk and publish the abstract later. (Been there, done that, my talk was not even the worse one.) (Also, during the peer review they don't verify the data. They thrust the author. It's very different from some CS conferences where they may ask for a github repo.)
There's a fun story about David Korn, author of the Korn shell, embarrassing a Microsoft presenter at a USENIX Windows NT conference. The presenter was making assertions about a Korn shell that Microsoft licensed being a "real" Korn shell.

Honestly in fairness to junior developers, I should have left the "junior" label out of my original post. We're all guilty of this by varying degrees.
Well, again, it's just unreasonable to expect masks - alone - to completely eliminate community spread. You've got to think in terms of the reproduction rate R. If it's above 1 you're losing, if it's below 1 you're winning. Each measure, like mask wearing, knocks a little fraction off R. The goal is to knock as many little fractions off as possible. It's totally possible for masks to "work" in the sense of knocking a worthwhile chunk off R, and yet have the public health strategy as a whole fail to bring it below 1.

The trouble is, managing R is an ongoing challenge. If you manage to get it below 1 and the rate of new infections decays to nearly nothing, great! But unless you completely shut the borders to prevent new seed infections, you have to keep doing whatever you were doing. If you relax, then R goes above 1, and exponential growth does its thing again and you're back where you started. There's a natural ceiling to the exponential growth - nobody quite knows why, though it's presumably something to do with acquired immunity - but it's a grim place to be.

I wouldn't look to the UK as an example of how to manage a pandemic. It has been bouncing along its infection ceiling ever since all measures were relaxed in July. I predict that the new mask mandates will have no detectable effect on infection rates; their modest effect on R will fail to bring it below 1, and rates will continue to "bounce along the top".
I've longed for a window manager that can assign different virtual desktops to different screens. Of course, there are compositing, scaling and resolution issues to overcome, but it'd be really neat to have a palette of virtual desktops that could be called up on whichever monitor was most convenient.

...and it'd make screen mirroring during presentations a breeze!
Even if you do so, the program size is still bigger, and it consumes more disk, RAM and most importantly cache space. Wasting cache for having multiple instructions when on another architecture it's done by only one doesn't make particular sense to me.

Also, it's said that x86 is bad because the instructions are then reorganized and translated inside the CPU. But it seems that you are proposing the same, the CPU that preprocessed the instructions and fuses some into a single one (the opposite that x86 does). Ad that point, it seems to me that what x86 does makes more sense: have a ton of instruction (and thus smaller programs and thus more code that can fit in cache) and split them, rather than having a ton of instructions (and waste cache space) for then the CPU to combine them into a single one (a thing that a compiler can also do).
This seems like a bizarre definition. As someone who would accept a label of "conservative", and growing up and living in a world of mostly "conservative" people, I struggle to think of a single such person who wouldn't be appalled to find out they they were living under a single such law, let alone many such laws.

Could you be so kind as to identify even a single instance of such a law?

are we looking at the same data? It's hovering around 40% with at least two duds, when it used to be in the high fifties, even 60%. Plus, this is a table of strictly "seasonal" flus. There is no clear definition of what constitutes a "seasonal" flu; If I'm not mistaken, "non-seasonal" is just a catch-all for flus that weren't part of the vaccine package.
It's not a tiny corner. People do arithmetic with carry all the time. Arbitrary precision arithmetic is more common than you think. Congratulations, RISC-V, you've not only slowed down every bignum implementation in existence, all those extra instructions to compute carry will blow the I$ faster, potentially slowing down any code that relies on a bignum implementation as well.
That’s kind of close enough.

I liked the square one from Eizo, but it seems nobody else did.
What charges in particular are you referring to? The cloud services only charge data egress fees. Data ingress is free.

The ENCODE Project data were a hundred terabytes or so at the point I migrated it into S3 (it's now over a petabyte.) We were on a fast academic network with a 100GB interconnect so could just `aws s3 sync` rather than worry about using AWS Snowballs or anything.
I've owned almost every size and resolution of monitor to come out in the last few years (I don't know why, call it a hobby)

- Right now I've settled for the XDR. Less screen real estate, but text clarity is great, and no weird Dual DP issues like the 8k Ultrafine before it

- Second place is Dell's 40 inch "5k" ultrawide, the U4021QW. Good text clarity and plenty of vertical space (more than 34"/49" 21:9)

- 3rd place goes to two 4k 16:9 28" monitors on fully adjustable gas spring arms (I use gas spring arms for all my monitors, including the XDR)

- 4th place is a tie...

Either 38" 1600p ultrawides (gives you more vertical space the 1440p panels in 34" and 49" models) if you care about vertical space (ie. you wish we had 3:2 monitors)

or "5k" 34" ultrawides. Only two models were ever released with this panel, but you can still find them for sale new: PS341WU and 34WK95U

- 5th place is 34" and 49" 1440p ultrawides. These are the most popular ironically, but once you've used any of the above it's like going back to the 1366×768 days when it comes to looking at text all day.

Also curved monitors are a plague. Yes people get the impression that it's making it easier to use a wide screen, and it's a very intuitive conclusion to draw. But actually picture one of these monitors flattened out and you realize there's a minimal change in width.

If you're doing color sensitive work you probably don't want a curve due to the distortion, and if you're not then the slight color shift from a flat panel is not something you'll ever notice or care about, and in exchange for that you'll likely get much much better panel uniformity (curved monitors are much more prone to BLB due to the complex internal mounting setup).

He was definitely a wannabe medic. He told people an EMT which he was not, and when it might actually have been useful for him to kick into gear (after he shot Rosenbaum), he instead just stood there and called a friend.
My memories of SuperH are a bit different. Yeah, it's cleaner than ARM, but the delay slots, hardware division, and the tiny register file among others made life unnecessarily difficult. A lot of those design decisions didn't hold up well over time.
I guess the main question I have is what makes this different from any other abstraction? Specifically, is this that much better than a ton of vm orchestration that has existed for a while?

I'm also concerned about it throwing out the lines of infrastructure lifecycle versus software lifecycle. Runs heavily afoul of the common mono repo criticism that, just because you can commit the infra update with the software, does not mean they magically deploy together.
>> so I struggle to see how it could be the point of the exercise

I think you make a mistake in assuming "the" point, as in, singular. From Advent of Code's own website - 'People use them as a speed contest, interview prep, company training, university coursework, practice problems, or to challenge each other.'

We also have seen people use them as an excuse to start doing something in a new language, and, per this post, to play with Github Copilot and understand what it's doing.

So...it's really what you want to make of it. -My- point was simply that if there's an ML model trained with all sorts of approaches devs use to solve sliding window style problems, and it manages to solve the problem but still misses such a generally useful optimization, it does call into question what it was trained on.
It always amazes me how readily people assume that their problem is unique and special. This article can be summarized as: standard software engineering problem gets solved with standard software engineering practices. The problem they describe of a giant function that gets touched every time something changes is called a "God Function" or a "God Class" and it's one of the most common problems in software engineering. Their solution is called "Dependency Inversion" and it was designed to solve literally that exact problem in the exact way they're doing it.

That doesn't mean it's easy! Anyone who applies Software Engineering principles to make their code better deserves congratulations. So congratulations, Stitchfix! But you could have found this solution a lot quicker if you didn't fall into that age old trap of thinking your data-science code was different, and excluded from standard software engineering. Everyone does this, and I don't know why. They read all these blogs and books on software engineering best practices, but then they don't apply them to anything. You can't apply it to your SQL because it's just different. Your database organization is different. Your I/O code is different. Your API surface is different. Your UI is different. Your feature engineering is different.

No! It's software. Stop thinking that you need a unique solution to your unique snowflake problem. Apply well-known and good software engineering practices to everything you ever do.

They even say in the article "It hasn’t grown convoluted out of ... bad software engineering practices". Of course it has! What do you think software engineering practices are supposed to apply to!?
Yeah, sure. The text itself is usually at most a few hundred Kb, and HTML compresses extremely well. Like it's pretty slow to unpack and replay the documents, but it's still a lot faster than downloading them again.
> And let's not speak of Tenet. Nolan is one of my favourite film-makers, but I hated that movie because I couldn't understand half the dialogue and the plot.

This one is definitely not just you... I'm not sure Christopher Nolan himself understood the plot beyond "Inception, but for time machines".
What is extremely annoying to me is that all these companies make ultra wide monitors without increasing the horizontal resolution. Why would anyone want an ultra-WIDE monitor with exactly the same resolution as a 4k monitor. The T E X T L O O K S S T R E T C H E D!

They need to increase the horizontal resolution when they increase the width of the monitor to add value over a regular shape monitor with the same resolution.

Are there any 32"+ ultrawide screens that have higher horizontal resolution?
When they are talking about familiarity, it really is about a change in perception rather than lack of focus. Once you know what it is supposed to say, you can't just concentrate and then not understand it anymore. All of our perception including understanding spoken language is based on pre-knowledge.
Some receivers have a function to help. On my Onkyo, it's called Dynamic Volume. It's essentially just a compressor to turn quiet sounds to medium quiet and loud sounds to medium loud.

In my setup, I go one step further. I have a 'no subwoofer' activity on my Harmony hub that turns off a smart outlet switch to the sub and turns on Dynamic Volume. No more keeping my roommate up by watching movies late at night.

We might get more mutations from unvaccinated people, but since the vaccine doesn't prevent transmission we'll get much more virulent mutations from the vaccinated people.

So I'm kind of surprised to see this. I was under the impression Germany was the opposite.

https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/hospital-beds

Germany is #2 out of those reporting. Crushing Canada by like 300%.

https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/medical-doctors

Germany #1 for doctors, beating Canada by 100%

https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/nurses

Germany #2 for nurses, beating Canada by ~75%

I kind of step back, how terrible is Canada doing?

>The staffing problems in hospitals (and nursing homes) have existed much longer than Covid. I heard a lot about them myself when I did my FSJ (volunteer work) back in 2004, and it's only gotten worse since then.

Oh ya big time. I can't remember a time when nurses/psws/doctors weren't in huge demand here in Canada.

Before covid: https://www.blogto.com/city/2019/07/toronto-hospital-fraud/

During covid pre-vax: https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-hospital-lays-off-97-regi...

Antivaxxers fired: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2021/11/28/were-on-the-brin...

You can't be on one side in huge demand for nurses but also be firing them willy nilly.

Firing them for not getting the vaccine isn't true at all. They've been reducing nurses and such for long before.

>Our government is in full CYA mode, and doing everything they can to blame a scapegoat for problems they themselves have willingly created over decades. It's despicable, and nobody should support it.

I propose that Canada and Germany probably have the same problem. That we are on the same page.

I am curious what you think is that problem?
What is the breakdown of unvaxxed/vaxxed in hospital admissions and deaths?

Serious question. I wonder about vaxx effectiveness when I see these numbers. But the breakdown matters.

I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. Our breakdown from Mar 15-Nov 26 is[1]:

- Hospitalizations: 84.4% unvaxxed, 9.6% 1 shot, 6% 2 shots

- Deaths: 69% unvaxxed, 7.1% 1 shot, 23.8% 2 shots

Total admissions and death rate numbers don't tell the whole story - breaking them down by vaxxed/1shot/2shot will help unpack "who to blame".

In fact, you can dig deeper. My province doesn't release the numbers but from what I can tell the 2-shot people who die are generally older and/or infirm. So I believe the 2shot numbers are being thrown off by an atypical population... which means the general population has less to fear from covid if they're double vaxxed. My co-founder informed this is an example of "Simpson's Paradox"[2].

What kind of vaxxed/unvaxxed breakdown are you seeing in Denmark?

Use my immune system, like people did for millions of years.
Unfortunately everyone can’t but the vast majority will be fine after having covid and will have built up immunity.
