Can we please give this China hard lockdown success story up?

There are no hard lock-downs in a face-dictatorship. There is a hard lockd-down show. Some doors are welded shut for tv-cameras. Covid Quotas are handed out to doctors and the rest becomes pneumonia.

Similar: Before the iron-curtain fell, sovjet propaganda claimed they were economically the more successful side. This did not hold up - at all.

State propaganda produces the illusion of working measures, while the normal citizen just bribes or work otherwise around the restrictions.
What you see publicized by the state media to youtube or face-book is not real or reality.

Its a "strong" government fantasia, produced by the people who run it. There are no "free" opinions by mainland citizens on the web.
I think those events probably had something to do with getting rich

Your OCaml function example looks like feature I call conditional parameters in KatLang (inspired from Erlang).
In mathematics exists many different concepts which are called perfect. For example, perfect numbers. God called Lucifer a perfect. I provided a definition for symbols perfectness and tokens perfectness. You can call it unprofessional, but I did my best. I do not call my work perfect to make it more significant. I use term perfect as an attribute of the code expressions. Imagine identity function:

function(x) {return x; }

In KatLang You can define it as:

x

The question is: can you remove one more symbol without changing the meaning of the expression? If no, then, the identity function definition 'x' is symbols perfect according to my definition. Of course, I rely on the usage context and it allows me to hide some part of critical information and focus only on the short lambda expression.

Thanks for the elixir examples.

> Am I really so out of touch with the general public?

Well, for starters, you did just post a comment on "Hacker News."
Direct conversion has no IF but still uses a mixer and a LO, and the LO still leaks out of the input port of the mixer. Because you're directly converting the RF to baseband, LO frequency is the tuned frequency. Unlike e.g. a dual or triple conversion receiver (used in e.g. spectrum analyzers), where the first IF is way above the highest tunable frequency.
It'll depend a huge amount on the country in Europe you're referring to. Germany is a lot stricter than the Netherlands, for example.
Google's has been bashed so consistently on privacy issues on mainstream media that non-techies often associate them with creepy data collection.

Microsoft hasn't been in the news as much, at least not regarding privacy matters. They're often seen by the public as the solid company behind trusted products like Office and Windows.
> Non-human natural persons absolutely have responsibilities. The plants are responsible for photosynthesizing, the fungi for decomposition, etc. They do their holy work and we all get to stay alive, if we hold up our end of things as well.

No, those are not about responsibility. Is a river responsible for someone drowning in it?
And did you mean the same Clinton/Lewinsky that killed his political career? Meanwhile Trump 2024..
Isn't competition a kind of relationship? I kind of thought that anyone interested in one contemporary graphical Windows alternative might be interested in another. I would have mentioned Desqview too, but we already had a story about that very recently.
There was an official impeachment process. It didn't complete, but it was started iirc; I expect that, had Trump won another mandate on an even slighter majority, we would have heard much more about it. Also there were a lot of active reactions, official and unofficial, which were widely reported (civil servants withdrawing information, leaking all sorts of stories to the press, scrambling to correct his actions, etc etc).

Scandals can be survived even in democracy, for sure (Dick Cheney shot a man, Ted Kennedy killed a woman, etc etc), but the accused has to work hard for it. And you could say Trump didn't really survive them, since he was voted out at the first chance.
Exactly. Regions implemented mandates have different population than regions didn’t.

This kind of one variable comparison is totally junk science.
It's not Webpack, minifiers or build tools that make things bigger: if you feed them small inputs, you get small bundles.

Build pipelines don't merely concatenate a few scripts, they're meant to automate the boring parts we used to have to do by hand (like copying assets with cache-busting filenames and update matching references, set the correct image sizes, generate SRI hashes, generate sourcemaps, generate sitemaps, check the quality of pages, etc). This way you can focus on writing the application and keeping it maintainable without having to waste time remembering to use javascript hacks (like `!1` instead of `false`) to save a few bytes like we used to.

It's when people indiscriminately feed them big frameworks that things bloat, same way you won't be lightweight with a junk food diet.
Its starting to look like the benefits of decentralized banks lean more in favor of the bank robbers than the bank clients.
You still assume I care. As stated above I don't care. It's in your head only that every Rust developer writes Rust because she thinks it's faster than C.

I think you’re mixing effectiveness and efficacy. You’re both correct but talking about different terms minus that the parent comment needs some prior adjustment in the numbers to get the posterior.

Can you elaborate on how this event constitutes proof of your claim?
What new concept? When C and C++ appeared they were hardly usefull for game development, hence why most games were coded in Assembly.

After C, alongside TP, got a spot on languages accepted for game development, it took about 5 years for C++ to join that spot, mostly triggered by Watcom C++ on the PC, and PS2 SDK.

There was no GC overhead on the systems programming being done in JOVIAL, NEWP, PL/I,...
I don't really have a start page, but I do use bookmark folders quite a bit for a similar purpose. For example, I have all my analytics links (Google Search Console, my own Matomo, Google Trends etc.) in one such folder, and when I need my data, I middle-click it (yeah, I'm a mouse guy), which opens all the pages in different tabs.

Super simple, ultra-low maintenance, gets me 80% there.

It shouldn't cause reflow by my understanding, the content never changes size, so the CPU hit should be minimal normally. It is going to consume unnecessary bandwidth and look messy if looking at it in a browser running remotes (via RDC, VNC, etc) but other methods like animated gifs will have that same effect too.

In any case, for an animation like this I'd set it to run through a few times, perhaps just once, then stop instead of bouncing around infinitely. Or have a long frame at then end of the sequence so that it only animates occasionally.
Yeah, GEM from Digital Research had nothing to do with GEOS/GeoWorks, apart from being DOS-based graphical interfaces that attempted to compete with Windows.
It's simply not a priority for them.
I don't see how this would be possible without having access to Target's inventory system.
> You can't seriously expect asymptomatic people to wear masks in public forever.

Before we catastrophise, how about we start with the pragmatic - ask people to wear masks while infection rates are high. Which is unlikely to be forever

There's a big difference between 'Covid is going to be with us forever' and 'Covid infection rates will threaten to overwhelm health services forever'.
> You can't seriously expect asymptomatic people to wear masks in public forever.

Why not? Many societies expect that you wear clothes in public, and most people willingly comply every day. In many places it's actually mandated by law! Where are the anti-clothers protesting in state capitals? Oh yeah, they're nudists and most people don't take them seriously.

Why is being required to wear a mask in public any different than being required to wear pants?
Yes, both the men Rittenhouse killed were unarmed.

The third guy, Grosskreutz, did indeed have a handgun, which he drew and pointed at a man who had already killed two people.

Again, I'm not saying that Rittenhouse did not have a justification to fear for his life and limb in those specific circumstances.

But they were circumstances which were created largely by his own decisions (travelling to Kenosha, carrying a weapon, shooting Rosenbaum).
Correct. In fact, you can easily verify this by putting a phone in an unpowered microwave and calling it. It'll usually get both 4G (frequencies range, but 800Mhz in my area) and Wifi (over 5GHz).
Nobody claims masks need to be worn forever. That is your statement.

We still need to slow down the spread though, as several operations otherwise can't handle the load.

In NL, our undertakers have employed external cooling cells again, just like last winter, to be able to 'service' the dead.
because there are a lot of people that feel the exact opposite of you - i dont ever want to wear one again!
For those missing the old internet days, I recommend to take a look in the https://indieweb.org project.
What is the bottom line on masks and COVID-19? I am really out of the loop, since the toxicity of the debate was exhausting. The last I heard was that transmission is mostly via aerosolized viral particles, so most masks are essentially useless except N95 or higher grade.

Anyone have resources I can check out? thanks
Everyone is well aware that the first amendment does not apply to Facebook. The question is whether Facebook should censor not whether they legally can. The passage I quoted from Mill is an argument for free speech in general, not only with respect to the government.
Exactly this. We have to live with the virus same as with the flu.

And I agree that having healthy people wear masks just to be safe is unacceptable.
What comment comes to your mind of a Rust developer who thinks Rust is faster than C and needs a dose of reality?
That's a fair point. So Huber was not carrying a weapon up until after Rittenhouse had already killed Rosebaum.
I don’t know about others but I‘be found AoC is quite good for naturally discovering how you’ve solved a problem “wrong” or sub-optimally when you get to Part 2.
and it would be simpler to pursue conservation ends without it.

I doubt it. Look at corporate personhood and how it applies to Citizens United, being able to sue and tax a corporation, etc. Also look at how conservation protections have been put in place over the years compared to corporate protections. Treating corporations as a "person" opened the doors for a lot of simpler legal tools.
That’s measuring something else. Asymptomatic carriers and people with mild symptoms only get tested when promoted by something other than the disease.

So 0.6% of infections, is roughly equivalent to 1.6% of positive test results because very sick people are vastly more likely to get tested. Aka 15.9 infections per 100,000 people is roughly equivalent to 5.9 confirmed cases and they result in the same number of deaths.
Nonsense. According to Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell: "Kentuckians and All Americans Should Accept the COVID-19 Vaccine".

> Masks work. If you wish to be honest about it, you'd say "They work, but we can't get our citizens to wear them."

But the people telling us to wear them don't even bother themselves! There are countless examples of leaders 'forgetting' to mask up, or being caught putting on a mask - when they think they can't be seen doing so - immediately before they come on stage for a press conference etc. Or in yet another example, Boris Johnson apparently hosted a maskless boozy party with loads of people some time last Christmas. Add to that Professor Neil Ferguson gallivanting across London for a bunk up with his mistress in private at the same time as arguing for harsh lockdowns in public (the same chap has been quoted as admitting pretty much that masks do nothing to stop the virus, and are merely there to keep us afraid and demoralised - can't find the quote now, surprise surprise, as searching on Google merely returns 1 bazillion pages of pro vaccine propaganda). So lethal a virus that we need to be reminded it exists. Wow. Or recall former Health Secretary Matt Hancock merrily copping off with his mistress at the same time as going home to his wife and family.

If this genuinely were such a super scary virus none of these things would be happening. The masks are there purely to terrify and dehumanise people, and they do not work in stopping the spread of the virus. The official advice did a 180 swivel around March 2020 from 'masks don't work' to 'wear the mask or else', around the same time as WHO etc. changed the definition of vaccine and herd immunity.

Nothing to see here though of course. All completely above board. I'm obviously a mad conspiracy theorist for noticing these types of discrepancies. Trust the science comrade!
I assume for the same reason you ground your home, building up charges is a great way for Bad Things to happen.
It's surprising to see that they removed more accounts from Mexico, China, Tanzania, Uganda and Venezuela than from Russia.

As an aside, why is China here called "People’s Republic of China"? Mexico isn't called the "United Mexican States", Venezuela isn't called the "Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela".
> Career

> Before Pinterest (which launched in March 2010), Silbermann worked at Google in the online advertising group.[6] However, after a short time with the company he left and started designing his own iPhone apps with a college friend, Paul Sciarra. After their initial application, Tote, failed to gain significant traction,[7] the cofounders teamed up with Evan Sharp to create a pinboard product that would eventually be named Pinterest.[6] Silbermann says that the genesis of Pinterest really came from his love of collecting as a kid. "Collecting tells a lot about who you are," he said, and when they looked at the web "there wasn't a place to share that side of who you were."[8] A little over nine years after starting Pinterest, the company held its IPO in April 2019 which valued the company around 12 billion dollars beating expectations.
Don't.

I really like the Stripe product. My comment is based I pure personal experience.
It's such a well done and consistent designed API (at least it was).
I wasn't clear. I meant to exclude China from the discussion for precisely the reason you mention.
Didn't Grosskreutz travel a further distance to riot then Rittenhouse traveled to prevent the rioting? Or was that one of the other ones?
> Before running the code, make sure your CPU does support AVX2. ... You should see "sse2" at a minimum.

AVX2 is not SSE2 - SSE2 is much, much older.

You want to check for the avx2 flag itself.
You know, outside of use cases for scammers and hackers. This protocol is actually pretty interesting. I'm actually surprised it's not getting more attention then what it already has.
Considering how often Google gets slapped with billion dollar fines in the EU, I'm not surprised they're voluntarily complying.

Sadly C64 arrived on the scene when the Amiga was launched. It would have been amazing if the C64 was launched with Geos and apps would have been written for it (An Amiga was my first computer with a mouse, I wrote a text windowing system for my Amstrad which was my first GUI).
dunno about "studies", but the social forces at work aren't mysterious to religious philosophers. The taint of "religion" makes all that work unpalatable, at best, to people born since the 70s; so it's all but lost.
I shall look into nsenter. I have never actually used it. It may cover this use case.

As for the status quo, I spend a lot of time extracting dumps from things in containers and debugging weird issues which is really really difficult without the ability to install any tools on the container at will. When done, we blast the container and let kubernetes reschedule a new one, disposing of all tools and state.

On bloat, mine are sitting on top of a debian container layer, mostly because it’s a hell of a lot easier dealing with some dynamic libraries than fecking around with static linking stuff and copying dependencies into a minimalist container.

Edit: There is overlap between these two things which nsenter may not be able to solve looking at what I am reading.
This is a super cool blog post. However I think it alludes to a much larger problem. For many products today, it’s very difficult or impossible for most people to verify the product works.

For a network switch, there are free and open source tools like iPerf to test and verify speeds are as advertised. For a faraday box, you have to go through all these steps (and knowledge learned) just to be able to test these. What about for vitamins, or pet food, or any other “durable” products that are supposed to last for X years?

In an age of snake oil salesmen, paid for reviewers, and fraudulent products on Amazon, there is a real opportunity for creating systems that enable individuals to verify products do what the sellers claim they do.
You're correct, I didn't even see that connection!
