Grain of salt please...thanks for the info politicalwire.com

In all seriousness though, how can the left argue against politicizing the pandemic when their past operatives, now publishers are pushing "chosen" studies and "accepted" viewpoints while at the same time shutting down any dissenting voices?

Does a one paragraph, one sided news article do anything more than foment more division between the two extreme camps and amplify their respective voices?

And just my two cents for the people arguing that unvaccinated people are crowding out hospitals preventing other treatments and surgeries, the same governments bringing in these draconian mandates are still permitting and taxing tobacco sales which burden their healthcare systems as much if not more.

And just my two cents on for the people who agree with my last paragraph but still smoke, tobacco products have warned against disease for years...Why would You continue to consume a product that has been proven without a doubt to make You sick and eventually kill You while at the same time reject a treatment that might protect You?
I have had my domain/email hosted on office 365 for years now. Zero issues. Before that I hosted it through various other providers which was also fairly trouble-free. Many years ago I tried hosting my own email server. That excersize revealed how cheap $50 a month is to have email hosted for you.

Recently, I became a "Microsoft Partner" which gets you a monthly Azure allowance, software licenses, and five Enterprise accounts for Office365. This is only $550 a year which is cheaper than my previous office365 small business account.

The support is great when or if you need it. You probably will.
Linux Desktop does itself no favors in attracting the business world. It is the most fragmented "platform" in common use, is actively hostile to closed source drivers and software, and has no unified application management mechanism. Add in it's abysmal market share (gee, I wonder if any of the above is related to that?) and there's good reason business don't bother with it.

The new asset browser is also another great addition for plugging into pipelines.

thanks Ajay, we're also big fans of yours here at Supabase :)
You claimed that "THEY" changed the definition, based on a dictionary. This would imply that the definition was changed during covid to include "mandate sceptics".
The link shows that in 2018 it included "[...] laws that mandate vaccination".
The only real difference is that the former definition uses the word "laws" and the current one "regulation".
While the two words are not interchangeable, the definition on merriam-webster includes laws as a type of regulations.

Calling this a meaningful change of its definition that "THEY" did is nothing more than pedantic anti-vaxx bullshit.
One unwritten trade off that's in addition, not a knock on your stance just an observation, is that teams that build one quality product can often build another. To some extent when you choose to build you are also choosing to build a culture that knows how to build. So you have to think about not just the next thing you need, but the five things after that. I've worked at companies that bought literally everything, and what I found is the engineers there knew a lot about how to plugin to these various systems, but when they needed to build something complex together they weren't able to do so very well, or at all. Which might be fine, but you should head in that direction with intention.
I love how these conversations always come up in relation to defi/crypto.

I don’t know what world you live in, but it’s like you guys believe there is some kind of ethics or moral high ground in sneering at something you barely understand.
Yup.

What Francis Fukiyama calls the "vetocracy". The entire stack of US policy work, legislation, lawmaking has many, many veto points. For better or worse.

The functional purpose of the US Senate is to prevent legislation.

"Congress is where good bills go to die." -- legislative aide, personal friend

One consequence is strong tendancy for big bang (punctuated equilibrium) over incrementalism. A recurring scenario is that once a coalition has a veto-proof supermajority, they bum rush as much legislation as possible, before the next mid-term election dissolves the coalition.

That's why progressives and reformers have always advocated for majority rule.

Another consequence of vetocracy is empowering the executive. Explaining why the rise of executive orders.

Alas, many are happy with the status quo, gridlock, dysfunction. My brother, for instance. Who believes that any day spent legislating is a crime against humanity.

What reactionaries like my brother don't grasp is someone will fill the power vacuum, continue to make decisions. Where legislators are impotent, the admins, commissions, lobbyists, executives, judges happily make their own laws and govern without any accountability.

The neoreactionaries (monarchists), like Peter Theil, explicitly prefer the Aristolian philosophy king model. Because people (the polis) are stupid, only natural leaders who are benign dictators would rule, and so forth.
The OpenNebula Conference 2022 is going fully virtual
In general terms I agree. FWIW, my wife breeds white Swiss shepherds, and very much has the health of her animals in mind when she plans a litter. She'll cull (as in remove from her program to a pet home, not take out back and shoot) dogs that don't measure up - either temperament wise, genetics (she tests every dog she keeps using optimal selection's tests), other other traits - one of our fave bitches had to have elbow surgery due to a developmental defect that left an unattached piece in her joint. She was spayed.

like everything to do with people, there are fads, and then bad things happen due to those fads that you don't see for YEARS. The shiloh shepherds found they had a genetic heart defect, and it was traced back to a single stud used too much as he was popular.

I forgot where else I was going with this, but I mostly agree with the parent. OH, I know, the "new blood" thing. Most of the worlds kennel clubs have a process for bringing new blood in, where you bring in a dog that LOOKS like your breed, and meets the breed standard. You give it a registration, and its attached to the studbooks as an addendum. Keep breeding with your fully registered dogs until the progeny's three gen pedigree is filled with pure breds and you have a fully registered dog. Its not perfect, but at least its there as an option.
I think 'borderline cruel/dangerous' is overstating it (I do live in an 1 bedroom appt with 2 BOC and 1 BOM), but it certainly is true that if you have a working dog, you need to give it work. And place to expunge energy.

My partner does several dog-sports, and it seems that if you have on avg 30-90m training a day over the week, most of the day your dogs will just be happily tired and lounge around and sleep.

Or if she has more lenient training shedule, we do take them to run around in a field just outside of city like every two days.

The misconception is, that if you give a working dog big enough yard next to your house, it will be happy, but in reality you still need to train and work with it. If I were to exagerate, this kind of psychological neglect too can be borderline cruel and sometimes dangerous.

The bad thing is, even the owners might not realize. I heard several stories along the lines of "Our bordercolie is well fed, and well behaved, and has access to run around in a large garden, and take her with us every weekend on a hike, and then bites our friends child into her leg when the she tried to run away?" ... well, yeah, I am not surprised that a shepherd dog that isn't well trained and never worked would do something stupid like that.

My point probably is, that even in the sad story of the hard-to-manage presa canario, yeah, having it in an appartment didn§t make things easier, but I wouldn't see it as the primary problem.
Maybe someone can convince Naomi Wu to go visit their office in person like she did for Umidigi.

Thanks for sharing!

I’m curious how you’d identify a “psycho” dog in a shelter, assuming you don’t have tons of time with the dogs. Are there some particular traits that are obvious or quickly identifiable?

I’m curious just from a knowledge perspective, but also what someone should look out for if they’re adopting a dog?
What are your sources? From what I hear, few friends in CG, Blender is gaining ground. Don’t know if there is an official statistic anywhere.
The win is it saves on battery life.
>Adolf Hitler making a speech, in one context the viewpoint is promoting Nazism, and a platform should be able to moderate that content, and in another context the viewpoint is pointing out the atrocities of the Holocaust, and a platform should be able to disseminate that content

Laws in the US are judged by courts on how well they stop "nazis" and promote the holocaust. Talk about federal viewpoint discrimination. Absolutely unreal.

There might be an I/O die. I'd go so far as to say it could even be an I/O die with a bunch more cache too.
I find it incredible that if I search for [spacex] on YouTube during a launch, the official livestream doesn't appear in the first 20 results. Instead, it's all scams like what you described.

I wonder at what point Google's competence at search dropped to the point that they can't return the channel named "SpaceX" in response to my query.
One of the issues you run into with SVG is performance, particularly if you need any kind of styling of the SVG. As the tool scales you have to put in some effort into optimizing the generated SVG to help.

If you aren't handrolling or compiling the SVG yourself you also need to look out for whatever your tool is doing. Illustrator and Sketch in particular do some wonky nonsense with filters to support things like inner/drop shadows, and you may want to A/B the SVG in different browsers to make sure they look the same. It's been a few years since I had to do this, but in my experience you really had to restrict what features of the SVG editor your designers used.

Nope, that's the Mira, the Mira Pro is 1800.
I believe it's true for some sets more than others. In my experience any sets with Disney on them or sets based on partnerships with other brands are the worst for this however.
We don't have an apples-to-apples comparison for similar hardware and queries at this point but here are the links to performance figures for pg_graphql and grahile. Hasura does not publish throughput number afaik

pg_graphql: https://supabase.github.io/pg_graphql/performance/

graphile: https://www.graphile.org/postgraphile/performance/

We'll certainly be keeping an eye on performance as it gets closer to GA
Stacked 1x1s are trivial -- rotate them 45 degrees!

A 1x1 in the middle of a large plate though can be a challenge though. While the remover tool works for e.g. 1x2s, 1x1s don't quite have enough surface area, so the tool often slips off.

2x plates I find tend not to give as much trouble, if only because they require more force to have been pushed together perfectly flush in the first place.

(My context is teaching Lego professionally to middle-school children for a few summers. You get given all sorts of fun things to take apart, and having a pocket knife around isn't a good idea. My other takeaway from that experience is that the LabView-based Mindstorms software is/was total shit.)
No, it was the CFO explicitly calling out that they can't do something and then doing it anyways to deceive shareholders about quarterly costs. That should be obvious.

Just because Enron had massive fraud doesn't make $3.3 million "a small discrepancy", nor is purposefully doing something merely a discrepancy or oversight.

No one compared the insider trading to Enron. The actual accounting issue got them those comparisons.
why two years to launch?
It's amazing that people can look at that model and think that lego has gone downhill. This is one obscure flaw.
just want to give a big shout out to Oli - his implementation really ingeneous, leveraging multiple parts of the Supabase stack while also being agnostic enough to work natively inside Postgres (or with other tools)

I just bought and built the relatively recent Lego typewriter set [1], and I had this exact same question: how much of it was going to be purpose built, and how much would be just generic pieces. The answer is: almost all pieces are just regular Lego pieces.

A small number of components (the curved edge just above the keyboard, for instance, or the roller handle) seemed purpose-made for this model, but, like 99% of the pieces were totally generic. And this is in a set with more than 2000 pieces with lots of very intricate mechanics (there's a roller, a carriage, air pistons, and a ratchet/escapement mechanism that moves the carriage), but virtually all of it was made up of standard bricks, rods, connectors and generic components. I was super impressed. Even the keys are just Lego disks with stickers on them. The spacebar is just regular Lego with a smooth surface.

I feel like people have been making this complaint against Lego forever, and it's always "when I was kid, we just got a box of bricks and let our creativity take over!". The harsh truth is that Lego didn't change. We just grew up.

Many high-throughput server architectures, like modern thread-per-core designs, already do all of their own thread scheduling in user space. Similarly, they tend to do their own storage I/O scheduling in user space as well, bypassing the kernel cache and sometimes the file system. Similar with networking.

For this type of software, which treats Linux as little more than a device driver, a unikernel looks pretty similar to how they already interact with a normal OS, so porting to a unikernel should be relatively straightforward. I think this is more the case that unikernels target.
No, because you can absolutely abstract over data if it is encapsulated, which is the whole trick of objects,

You can use a Point from any vendor, without caring if it has x and y, or r and theta, or some other representation inside, as long as it correctly implements the specified interface.
Check out the Nodevember geometry nodes entries this year. You can accomplish quite a lot with it as it is. Also, the implementation in 3.0 is very different from the one in 2.93.

Do you build with lego by picking random pieces and sticking them together? If you are choosing the next piece by shape, why not add color to the selection criteria?
The problem of building a search engine by amateurs is always in how to get enough data to make it useful for a random visitor. And that will take a _LOT_ of data. It is a noble quest, good luck!
No :) I think that's actually what YOU are saying. You are comparing two virii that we could not observe for long in the wild (The Tigers) with some cat (Sars2). I think we have good evidence after 2 years that Sars2 is much more similar Sars1 and MERS - just from a KPI perspective.

You don't need to get into weird scenarios. There are a thousand reasons why someone may not have immediate access to the title of the car (a document issued by individual states in the US), have a different name on that title, or simply be using the car formally or informally but it belongs to someone else. Depending on the complexity of the situation it may take a week to months to get your hands on a proper title if the dealer requires you to present it.
Oh my, never heard that one before.

People’s willingness to speak confidently from a position of ignorance always surprises me.
Makes sense. I guess 'lower' prestige publications just are reporting on what they can with as much info they can glean from some google searches/staff on hand.

I'm talking about a projectile that has the laser capabilities in itself (i.e the electromagnetic slug is emitting the femtosecond laser pulses after it is launched), not launched via a laser (it could be launched however, but I was assuming later on the comment that both the rail gun and the slug itself will need to be charged up).

I had a disagreement with a famous (in my country) snowboarder on the internet about this topic. He goes on secondhand gear and beginners snowboarding forums and suggests boards by the brand that sponsors him. I told him he should at least put on a disclaimer on his comments explaining he is paid. His reply was that he chose the sponsor because he likes the product. I still think it's immoral.
As I see it (as someone fascinated with this phenomenon), this is somewhat of an example of what the author is talking about.

The claim:

>> The golden rule of hunter-gather life is pretty simple

...post-processing, is perceived as:

> There are at least as many "hunter-gather lives" as there are tribes, and probably more, and it's very likely the author knows about none of them.

...dropping "the golden rule of".

Ironically, this is followed up with:

> This shows the author wasn't thinking and is intellectually lazy and incurious -- like if he was [laying out bigoted theories in the first paragraph], and making whole deductions out of it.

I wrote more about a theory I have about this phenomenon in a recent thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29430192
It's just stuff a shame that in 2021, Tesla cars still don't have Vim keybindings. It really takes away from the CLI experience.
This link unfortunately doesnt really address the chemical imbalances which are normalised throughout society as stress and aging. If you consider yourself to be just a complex chemical reaction with a consciousness as the end result of the complex chemical reactions which have evolved over thousands of years, then I'd simply be looking at chemical solutions for good rest.

Its not strictly true that caffeine has a half life of 6-7 hours, nicotine reduces this to 3-4hrs and some prescription drugs also affect the half life either by shortening it or increasing it, in extreme to 24-48hrs.

I found a few grams of Taurine will improve and increase sleep, the science is out there, the more you take the more you sleep and you can sleep through fire alarms and all sorts so use with caution.

Now a restless mind can also keep people awake, so increasing 5-alpha reductase by consuming Glycine can then break down cortisol. You will laugh your head off with lots of Glycine, so dont blame me if you laugh your head off in a stressful situation and get fired from a job or something!

My whole family caught covid around 5-6 weeks ago. Kids had super-mild symptoms (way less than the flu). I had pretty mild symptoms, but have had a persistent cough (I've had that with some other colds though).

My wife got hit pretty hard (no hospital though). She would up with a cough too, but the worst part has been headaches. Worst headaches of her life for almost 3 weeks. Thankfully, they seem to be getting more intermittent and less intense.

Agreed. I recently built an internal application allowing our customer reps to play around with ideas using text-to-speech before sending the "copy" to a studio for a professional human recording, and included both Google WaveNet and Amazon Polly in the available voice synthesis choices. Polly is in its own right plain and simply mediocre for the most part, and in comparison to WaveNet it's just awful.

But the “vulnerability value” of memory-safety bugs is much higher: it’s almost always a security exploit.

Also, you don’t have to rewrite your code base immediately, or at all: just build new parts in Rust or another compatible memory-safe language.

So, saying that vaccination should be primarily and aggressively focused on people with comorbilities can be "misinformation" but saying that booster jabs "massively" strengthen bodys's defense against covid is completely accuarate and acceptable.

I think we are really getting into a point of no return here, i'm actually seriously worried about all this.
Would you mind elaborating on what complaints you mean? Blender has had multiple major UI overhauls in the past few years, and changed a lot of basic command assignments in the process. They even moved selection from the right mouse button to the left button. That was the #1 complaint I used to hear all the time from everyone, and it was resolved a couple years ago. So I’m very curious what you’re referring to, and whether you’ve used it recently.
This is the purpose of a court system.
You should spend more time in the Nix community, because actually people are very aware of these limitations. For C packages, yes the best we can easily do is ensure each binary has coherent library choices, but allow mixing libraries in different binaries. That is still useful, though!

That said, you underestimate the power of being able to hack on any dependency -- for real purpose of Nix is to defeat Conway's law, allowing any person to work on any codebase. It would be quite easy to fork the linker/loader to try out some experiment, or even just do some per-package symbol mangling, for example. I wouldn't want to try that experiment with any other distro, because it would be too hard to make my modification and then put everything together again!
You could have a bridge (e.g. with an IDS or a packet filter) with a management interface on a separate VLAN, or which requires management via a physical cable of some sort. But the bridge could also intercept traffic to port 22 and redirect it to itself. Personally, I resort to Wireguard instead being the only reachable port.
What is optimized to do says nothing.

Optimizing for open text queries means dealing with a massive search space, the thing is choosing a subspace where to search and that is the part engines have to refine, how that is done is a different story. Some people may agree to use their location, search history and visits to online stores to do so but some may not.
