Yup, it's crazy. Now we're coming up on a million dead in the USA, many of them entirely preventable, and the culpability stands directly at the feet of the culture warriors on both sides of this partisan divide.

Only fools try to win an argument with their spouse, or pick an unnecessary fight with their neighbor.

It's really the senseless, avoidable destruction, death, and suffering that bothers me.

People in the USA will cut off their own nose to spite their face.

Today the Times is reporting a bipartisan effort to fund and support the >100k kids who lost a parent or caregiver recently.

The mind reels.

Even before we hit 100k dead, I wondered how many fewer would have to die if the pandemic had broken out in a non-election year.

> However, steel core ammunition is explicitly illegal in the US, because it's considered "armor piercing".

That's... not really how that works. The US has tens of thousands of laws related to guns, and they intersect in different ways in different jurisdictions. Federally, though, at any rate, AP ammunition is only illegal for /handguns/. For rifles, there is no such legal restriction and steel core rifle rounds are commonplace. Most hunting is done with shotguns and rifles, you can easily find steel pellet shotgun shells.

The bigger issues is 1) Increased costs 2) Different ballistic performance.
Ditching Ethernet broadcast that hit every single interface on a network when you only wanted to communicate with a single device on a specific protocol is a big win. Getting rid of Subnets by making the smallest possible subnet infinitely large eliminated 90% of network confusion around subnets. Privacy based IP addresses also a nice addition. After working with IPv6 for 10 or so years, you really grew to appreciate what an architectural advantage it has over IPv4. As for deploying it? I dunno - I just plug my Ubuntu laptop into a WiFi Network and it just seems to work. I'm pretty sure the comcast routers I've connected to have had zero configuration beyond what they can pick up connecting to comcast. In the future - people (other than say Network Engineers working for IT) probably won't even discuss things like "IP" addresses.
At the General Meeting in November, RIPE proposed some substantial changes to the charging scheme, to be implemented from 2023 (1 year away), and one notable difference is that RIPE is considering charging a fair market value for IPv4 assignments, in addition, to set up and maintenance fees.

That is the cause of the current spike/backlog.

I keep seeing comments like this on the internet and I don't know where this idea comes from the "peer review" is some kind of double checking and reproducing of the scientific research done.

Peer review is where the journal makes sure the claimed work done is of high enough quality, and that the results are interesting and significant enough to be worthy of publication in that particular journal. If not, the work either needs to be improved or published in a journal that does not have as much "esteem". If anything peer review is the reason that so many fake and fraudulent results are published these days (though I'm not suggesting I know of any better alternative).
> What is the Japanese government agency that provides reports about the number of foreign nations who die on Japanese soil, and where is the report from the time period including late June 2021, showing that nobody died. And for comparison, where can I read a sample report from a time period in which the number of deaths exceeded zero?

I found this site, it’s operated by the US government rather than the Japanese government. If you look for US citizens who died in Japan in June 2021, it does in fact show that there were no deaths.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-tra...

Note that the site only has statistics up to June 2021 and is only updated every 6 months. I thought that maybe the statistics were only updated up to the beginning of June but I tried another country (Mexico) and there was a death listed on June 28 so it seems like they’re up to the end of June.
I think we should start differentiating between Democrats and progressives. At least here in Portland, the differentiation is already complete. Basically everyone is a Democrat and most residents would like to have our police force back and see people prosecuted for property crimes. The city leadership is beholden to a radical fringe who aren't really even liberals so much as anarcho-communists.
I mean, there are solid-copper hollow-tip bullets on the shelf at the Bass Pro Shop and I live in California. This persecution story seems like a 2A fundamentalist fantasy.
I agree with this. I think the "set of primitives" part is an interesting, perhaps great, idea. Makes it easy to enforce consistency across your codebase. But I don't like the delivery mechanism--chucking all the styles in with the markup feels like it makes everything hard to read: the HTML/component declarations are harder to read both in code and in the browser, the individual classnames are hard to read (both because the names chosen are often gibberish and because parsing a dozen of them in a row is difficult), and the styles are annoying to debug in the browser (now you have to scroll through a dozen different utility classes to figure out what's going on).

Personally I feel like a better approach is taking that same philosophy of design system primitives and executing it via something like SASS mixins, paired with single-file components à la Vue or Svelte. Then you can use better names (no need for brevity now), keep the styling separate from the markup (but still paired with it), and have a better experience debugging in the browser.

Not from a passive, receiving network, no. If anyone on the network uses a web browser, there's a good chance your network can be attacked by a malicious ad through NAT slipstreaming, through (https://samy.pl/slipstream/)

NAT wasn't meant to be a security mechanism and because of that, the practical designs found in most devices don't treat it as such.

On IPv4, NAT and firewalls are usually one and the same rule set. That rule set is slightly smaller with IPv6 because of the lack of NAT, but the mechanisms are still the same. If your IPv4 firewall fails, NAT won't save you, because that's part of the system that failed.

If you're still insistent on using NAT then... use NAT. The core technique works on both protocols, you'll just have to set it up yourself because router vendors don't usually implement it.

You are confusing ideas, unless I am misunderstanding you.

Any ISO's pre-ipo will have some strike price, that is typically rooted in some valuation- the valuation per share is really just a function of the number of shares outstanding and this routinely gets adjusted right before the ipo, but the value of those ISOs or other grant types remains the exact same- its the same as reverse split where the share price doubles, or a 2 for 1 split where the share price halves but you have twice the number of shares- its financially equivalent.

You are really concerned with the valuation of the company when your grants were given, and what the valuation of the company is on the open market, and in the case of ISOs really just where the valuation of your options puts you above water. The IPO price in itself has nothing to do with either of those things, aside from a very brief moment in time after the opening auction where the company is worth the IPO price * shares outstanding.

The only way having an IPO go down on the first day actually hurts an employee is if they start that day or are granted stock or options at the IPO price, and I don't believe this has ever happened. Stock prices don't matter, total company value does.
It's funny, I have each book of all three of the respective original series: Java, C, and C++. But I have never sat down and done a "side by side" comparison. And I've mostly worked through the Java version. I guess I had assumed that the contents were largely the same modulo language oriented variations, but I can't swear that that is the case.

From what I can tell he's collapsed it down to just a java version entitled "Algorithms" that hit 4th edition in 2011.

I never got around to picking that one up, so I don't really know anything about it.

AFAIK there is no way to do it, so you're SOL if that's what your ISP uses.
IPv6 does not make it any easier or any harder to know the number of physical devices behind a firewall. Even if you sat directly in front of the handoff to the ISP with a packet sniffer counting the number of unique sources you'd still get the wrong number. Correlating source tuple with destination tuple and making inference would get you a more accurate number (though still not perfect) but that doesn't care about v4 vs v6.
I really would like to challenge this. There’s many times no need, but busywork have to feed busywork.

I really like that way of thinking about it. Cats hit the low latency pretty quick with the hissing, which is what the wild cats looked more like in this projects demo. Kinda makes sense.
Geez, every time I see stuff from Tailwind I get so jealous…

Tailwind is fine, but how they pulled off making tons of people pay for a css framework just blows my mind.

I remember reading the “UI for developers” articles, and saw how they built up the hype. This was so well done…
Follow the links in the first paragraph of the article, they go into details about the technical aspects of why Manifest V3 is harmful to users.

It's disappointing to see this sentiment again, as this has been Google's tactic in the past decade: feign innocence and initiate technical discussions, then move goalposts and start over until their opponents are exhausted.

When we first heard of Manifest V3, it took them months to find a ridiculous reason for no longer allowing proper control over requests in Chrome, and they kept jumping between performance, privacy and security, as researchers refuted all their technical arguments one by one.

By now there is nothing left to discuss, they'd just need to stop being malicious.
The entire universe is one single immensely complex circuit. There are no conductors or insulators, just one giant RLC network. This is a perfectly valid, yet extraordinarily pedantic way of viewing electronics (unless you're one of the dark wizards of RF).

The battery in your cell phone right now is in some non-zero way also powering the lights in your room. Each keypress on your keyboard registers in the heater of your neighbors coffee machine. They're all part of the same singular universal circuit.

Veritasium just ran with this pedantic tidbit to make a flashy controversial video. Which he didn't even get fully right because like Electro pointed out, there is always non-zero current flowing in everything. The lamp never "turns on" because it always was "on".

As an electronics guy, the veritasium video just made my eyes roll.
MSNBC and CNN have the closest (visible) ties to the intelligence entities today, with a revolving door between them. Clapper and Brennan are big examples, but only two.

Weird thought, so I try not to think too hard about it.
Dual Stack. Start off with by deploying IPv6 across the network without touching the IPv4 environment. Most modern operating systems will just automatically detect they have an IPv6 router and auto-configure. Big advantage of IPv6 is that address autoconfiguration is built into the protocol itself - no need for DHCP, Static Configuration, etc...

>80% followed religion in the US in ‘99. Now it’s <50%. Coincidentally about the same percent of support for conservative politics (not economics but the ephemeral civic life tradition or death type).

It’s how it goes; humans were the hard drives and CPUs of our economics until recently, and the costly in real terms old money network winds down with them. A lot of folks will feel disenfranchised, many rightly so, but also of lot rich folks today made it rich in an era of imploding pensions and gambling away others retirements, so if they get hosed, oh well.

In the end all will be forgotten and implicitly I think we know that so we just keep going.
> CSS isn't powerful enough to style HTML however you want without having to add a soup of extra divs and classes that are only there for styling

Totally this. We say we've come a long way from using tables for layout, but for example you still can't use Flexbox without at least some non-semantic .stuff-container and .radio-with-label junk. Decoupled HTML and CSS have failed in the real world, outside of pet projects.

Well, we're at a point where foreign attacks on our elections are a partisan issue, the response to a pandemic which has killed some 770k citizens is a partisan issue, whether or not we can use democratic elections to select our leaders is a partisan issue, to say nothing of catastrophic climate change. But then, for much of the first century of the existence of the US whether or not some humans could own others as slaves was a partisan issue, and then whether you could secede if an election didn't go your way was a partisan issue (hey, history rhymed!). If there are tipping points, we seem to be able to make the phase shift back the other way again, albeit with horrendous casualties. So there's hope.
Again, it's not that straightforward. The ATF has ruled that most common rifle rounds such as 5.56, 7.62 NATO, and 7.62x39 are actually considered pistol rounds, and thus subject to AP regulations, because someone somewhere has detached the stock from their rifle, thus converting it to a "pistol".

> Doing everything with utility classes and OOCSS / BEM are things we stopped doing literally decades ago.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Literally decades ago would take us back to at least 2001. OOCSS, BEM, etc. were all created after that year. Wouldn't it be correct to say "Doing everything with utility classes and OOCSS / BEM are things we hadn't even started doing literally decades ago."?
BitDefender Free has been discontinued
I just got an email from BitDefender (I personally use their antivirus) stating the following (at 10:01 PM tonight), verbatim:

> Dear [redacted],

> The decision to discontinue a product is never easy.

> It’s especially hard with a product as popular as our Free Edition has been in recent years.

> Since early 2020, we have had to weather immense changes in our industry; changes that upended many of our cherished plans for product development.

> Sadly, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition has been a casualty of those changes.

> As of 1st of January 2022, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition will officially be discontinued and no longer available for use.

> As a Free Edition user, how does this affect you, and how should you prepare?

> We will continue to offer tech support for our Free Edition until 30st of June 2022. We hope this gives you time to choose and install an alternative solution that will keep your devices protected.

Thought I'd be a good Samaritan and share the news on here, for anyone who isn't subscribed to the newsletter. Good luck in finding a new antivirus!
Pray that there are more natively ported games by then, and just not updating and holding onto Rosetta for much longer than I should. Win11ARM in Parallels doing x86 emulation works pretty well for older games and its how I play old shooters and Everquest at the moment.

Yes indeed, in Rust you have to do things the Rust way. But that's not much different than pains of trying to write imperative code in an OOP language, or mutable code in a pure functional language. Rust is closer to ML than the C family of languages, and the differences become apparent if you try to use it like C/C++.

It's not a blocker in practice, because you can fudge things with `unsafe` if you know you're smarter than the borrow checker.
You're right in that when someone creates a VAERS report, every type of post-vaccination medical event is to be included. But you're wrong if you are assuming every event gets reported by the patient, to a doctor who then always creates a VAERS report.

Some people don't associate symptoms with the previous vaccination, don't go to the hospital because symptoms recede, etc. Sometimes health care workers are overworked and can't be bothered, or assume someone else reported, etc.
You don't know what peer review is.

>I can write a whole paper about how the vaccine turns your skin magnetic and upload it to medRxiv, but that doesn't mean much.

Yes you could, and, provided you wrote it in such a way that people didn't think it was a joke, you would get published in Nature for sure. Only later when people try to reproduce your work would they realize you are a fraud, and depending on what country you work in, different disciplinary action might be taken (though probably not).

I am not arguing that their research is useless or uninteresting, simply that it shouldn't be communicated like it actually proves anything for on-the-ground polarization.

It's a bit like when we have AI papers that anthropomorphize their model by saying they benefit from "dreaming". This is true among the community of experts that actually work on the topic, it is simply irrelevant or downright misleading for a more "public" audience.
The following is not nor should be interpreted as medical advice, talk to your doctor...

I've had GBS twice and decided to get Moderna after doing my own research -- neurologists offices I called locally refused to advise me on what to do at the time (understandably, because they are not necessarily experts with vaccines). I get my booster this weekend, because I fear the effects of covid more than the potential side-effects of the vaccine; even having recovered from GBS twice, at least I know that's something that I could recover from and I'm not sure whether or not the same thing can be said about any long term consequences of getting covid.

I think you're right to the losses, but didn't consider the surplus energy side of things. We now have an oversupply/underdemand problem for sufficiently periods of the day that time shifting motives by the energy producer outweigh the otherwise brutal economics: they can't send the energy anywhere else because of transmission system constraints. Then need cheap ways to store the energy and loss is probably acceptable for the right outcome: better if you can avoid it, but acceptable.

Arguably batteries are ideal for the problem. However thermal storage systems like this one have good scaling to storage side of things: insulation is cheap, adding tanks is cheap. The basic turbine cost can supply wallplate stated power, the tankage gives duration and you can add as many tanks as you have room for.

Alongside simply supplying the energy, batteries are great for maintenance of supply frequency but I don't understand how they do reactive power. Turbine based systems do reactive power really well because of the rotational torque (I think) so represent a distinct role in electricity supply stability. (Its entirely possible batteries can do this too)

Finally, repurposing of steam turbine based generation sites means they have transmission systems, turbines on site and to hand: the capex component can be less.
