> So leave.

Yeah, that's the point. Once we're here, we generally don't want to die either. In fact, we have to endure the terror of knowing that we have to die at some point. That does mean it's a dick move to create a new existence.

> None of us asked to be born.

So? You do not justify why his parents don't owe him support for their desire to have a family. "Your suffering is tradition, child. Now, help your old man to the potty."

For me the really hairy discussion would be about what's to be said about unwanted pregnancies. But for the narcissistic self-fulfillment fantasy in a modern family, the answer is pretty clear in my opinion.
They have like, at a minimum, 10+ years of a whole OS built on objc. Of course it's going to be a high percentage.

I would be weary of any team who decided to rewrite an OS in an emerging language.
I would hate to see what the US would be like if the US didn't get to the tech space first. It's the only pillar holding them up beyond the 20th century.
I would also love a ground fish option, even if it's frozen. Fish burgers can be phenomenal when done right! I usually settle for canned, but the canning process definitely seems to have a pretty pronounced effect on flavor.

Can't see GP's comment (flagged, like 7/11 OP ITT) so I don't know if I'm on-topic or not. After Bourla's appearance on Lex's podcast and the latter's mention of a 100% claim on the blue bird app which the former denied (w.r.t. infection I believe), searching his account I came up with these. They're from March 31st (1) and April 1st (2 & 3, quoting 4), third would be most eye-brow lifting today. It is arguably misleading, or odd, to just mention 100% in a tweet on 95% CI with 53.5-100.0 brackets in the study.

1: 100% efficacy against COVID-19 disease for 12-15 year olds in phase 3

2: 100% efficacy against severe COVID-19 as defined by CDC

3: 100% efficacy in preventing COVID-19 cases in South Africa

I just read the above linked translation.

An incredibly high powered state official love bombing a young woman who had explicitly said no to sex until she relents sounds like sexual abuse to me!
I don't agree with all the author's claims, but I do agree that college admissions will never be fair.

Harvard took 57,435 applications and admitted 1,968. In the span of about 3 months, do you really think Harvard admissions offers can fairly and thoroughly review 57,435 applicants? I'm certain more than they can admit of these applicants have near-perfect or perfect GPAs and SAT scores, great extra-curriculars, and everything else "perfect".

At the end of the day you can't expect or depend on getting into X or Y college. It's not even that important. It is important to get into a college that has a a good X program if you plan to study X, but I don't believe there are issues as plenty of under-recognized state schools have a variety of good programs.
I love Swift too, but dislike Xcode enough to where I wouldn't use it unless I was doing iOS. Even in a medium sized project basic functionality like syntax highlighting or clicking into functions is unreliable. You get used to it being an iOS dev, but switching into something like Intellij is a sobering wake up call where that stuff just works.
As I said, 50,000 soldiers were already there.

> …until after the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964. With the explicit goal of containing China

You are making a single phase the whole reason why the US deployed millions of troops to Vietnam, which is patently untrue.

I see you would not acknowledge either that China became the aggressor a few years after the US withdrew, and eventually the Chinese got their asses kicked too.
SwiftUI's docs have been notoriously bad. I have heard that they are improving, but I haven't done anything "ship" in SwiftUI yet, so I don't have much to go on.

I know that the docs were so bad, that one chap wrote this site and app: https://swiftui-lab.com

They are really nice.
There are very few examples in Apple documentation
Swift and SwiftUI are very nice

I don't get to use macOS anymore, but i'm envious of them whenever i need to write some UIs

native, fast, memory efficient, memory safe and easy to build nice things
I'm not sure what you're quoting from, but ... that's more than a year from now.
Totally agree. It's therapeutic to read this.

Last I checked, many-worlds is a consequence of current quantum theory, not a postulate or additional axiom. Yet people treat it like such. Probably because it's 'spooky'. Then indeed it's ironic that they search for alternative explanations which try to say the same thing as many worlds but without saying 'many worlds'.
I'm not quite implying that events happen with dice. More that if we knew the true frequency, we would gauge there to be far less risk (because there is actually far less risk).

Meanwhile, you don't fully control if you slip in a bathtub, a person ascribes much less risk to the bathtub than they should (due to lack of confirmation bias and lack of knowledge of the risk stats, bathtubs are surprisingly riskier than you think; but if you put it in the context of what is the chance of a fall, you would start to think the odds are not that bad - and any serious fall with that many hard surfaces around can easily have a very bad outcome. So it's more consider the risk of any fall, now compare that to the statistics of 'stranger danger'. The point is that everyday common events, your car, your bathtub, your daily commute, can pose magnitudes more risk than even the shadiest of homeless person).
To express it in more “pragmatic” terms, the responsibility is essentially acting as “having skin in the game”. If there is no skin in the game, then you can’t expect to get that much out of it.

And yes, having skin in the game doesn’t automatically make things better. It actually introduces potential to make things more painful, in case things go wrong. But it also increases the ceiling on what you can get out of it, not just increasing the ceiling on what you can lose. Which basically makes things feel more meaningful and rewarding.
The problem, and why we will not see any solution any time soon is because people now want to live outside reality.

It's not that there are no homes, it's just that everyone is fighting for the most desirable homes and the most desirable locations, and the homes all must be detached.

You can still get a decent townhouse or semi detached, but God forbid having to live in a townhouse like a refugee.

I have had some smart friends pick up and move because they could either buy a house with their savings or sell what they have and buy a new home cash with money left over to pay off debt.

It's like the average guy complaining about the gas mileage on a Ferrari.
I certainly do not. Go review your own posts.

Playing dumb won't help you here, liar.

And nice edit, but it's not up to you to decide whether misquoting me is legitimate because you feel a word I said isn't relevant to your point. Quite obviously it was relevant, as I elaborated.

You're dishonest for the sake of rhetoric and you should be ashamed of yourself.
It's a little silly to make such a big deal out of 54% of global forest area being in five countries when those five countries make up more than 35% of the earth's land area.
It's not 'who's running the show' it's just 'incumbency of legacy'.

Modules that are complicated and not broken, are extremely expensive to fix esp. when they need to develop new stuff.

Legacy and backwards compatibility have a way of keeping things around.
ObjC isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. The same for UIKit and IB.

Lots of people want them to go away, but we don't always get what we want.
When a country doesn't seem to care about it's image, ie "callously dismissive" (my words) then we might conclude that it might think itself invulnerable. Invulnerability is a funny old thing.

No. Stop pretending this is a language issue. There’s no language issue here. The coercion is evident in the original Chinese text. There is no interpretation or translation issue here.

"为何还要回来找我，带我去你家逼我和你发生关系？": Why did you come back to me and take me to your home to force me to have sex with you?

"那天下午我原本没有同意一直哭": That afternoon I didn't agree (to have sex with you) and I kept crying.

"晚饭后我也并不愿意": I still did not agree (to have sex with you) after dinner.

Simple summary of what happened: They played tennis in the morning, and then he took her to his home (a highly guarded residency of the top CCP official). Because of the nature of the physical location, she actually can't leave without his assistance. She refused to have sex with him during the afternoon and the evening (but she can't leave by just walking out or call a taxi). Eventually they had sex. Also, his wife was at home and helped him to make the sex happen.
Crap phones too. My phone is four years old and is borderline unusable because most websites don't bother to load all the way. Most apps have trouble loading too.
Sapience and sentience is the differentiating language for what you're describing.
I know a couple of guys running a jails based system with carp for load balancing and redundancy.

It gets weirder... and I would contend that it is appropriate / necessary to read all four books to get a broader picture of the universe in which it takes place. ... And if you have the stamina for it, audio book it again afterwards so that you can't skim over the "boring" parts that you think you already know.
Wealthy elites will work to game any system, so the removal of SATs is actually targeted at middle class families with bright, hardworking children who can gain an edge through hard work. Stereotypically; I assume this actually targets Asians.

The core argument of "If they wanted someone, they can let them in regardless of their SAT" is fairly solid. Academic success is the hardest thing for an elite family to game - so this change is neutral to good for them.
So how has this been calculated, given that it is not known how many ‘boosters’ are going to be needed?
Well if they insist on expressing the dynamics of the universe as the minimisation of a global (or local) action functional, then they are already throwing in the towel because that implies a wavefunction of the universe.

I'm suspicious that these fringe quantum-physics-deniers just don't understand the mathematics. They want to be relevant but they don't want to learn, so they post wordy, fluffy blog posts targeted at non-professionals. Like Sabine.

Because neither party will advance a bipartisan bill (I.e. one that is appealing enough to both parties to attract a majority of votes), Democrats need all 50 of their senators to vote on their bills, which lets them pass via a tie-breaking vote from Harris. Manchin is the least in agreement with his party about their bills, so he has a lot of power as they cannot attract a 50th vote from the other party so need to appease him.
I'm an amateur doing Rust stuff on SAMD21 (Trinket M0) using the native bindings mentioned in sibling post. It's workable if you start from the examples and evolve from there. Things are still in shift, the ecosystem is very young, so there are areas of API instability, version conflicts or missing features when you try to integrate with other embedded projects (like defmt, cargo-embed or embassy). STM32 support definitely has less rough edges, I'd start there first (e.g. with a bluepill board) and then move to SAMD later.
> Intergalactic travel is many orders of magnitude harder than interstellar travel.

Andromeda is about 25 galactic widths away. Our galaxies width is about 25,000 times the distance to Alpha Centauri. Alpha Centauri is about 266,000 AU from our Sun. Relatively speaking, the galaxies are quite closely bunched together, compared to their own mind-boggling sizes.
In this case we should edit the title of the post to clarify, "for the variants as of x date" - agree or disagree? As to not spread misinformation.

> is concerned that the emergency declaration is being used to support her plan for more policing in the neighborhood, which could criminalize people with substance use disorders before resources such as the supervised drug-use site or a planned drug sobering center open.

Honest question. Is a supervised drug-use site an effective approach for reducing drug use long term? Does it help get people into services that help them deal with addiction? Or is it just meant to supervise potential overdoes and intervene?
I have a severe reaction to almost all medications. I already had covid twice. Once before vaccines were ready. Second time was only annoying.

So yea. I have no interest in it. Though if I hadn’t had covid already I would definitely get vaccine.

Being told I “must” get it is definitely provoking a “hell no” reaction on top of everything.
didnt actually say anything like that, and I also chose my words pretty carefully. might want to read more closely before responding.

While ObjC is far from dead, I’m not sure these metrics paint an accurate picture.

For a Swift-first app or binary, there are a few reasons that you might see ObjC as part of the binary:

- easier interop with ObjC

- Xcode code generation (CoreData, Intents, etc)

- legacy code (no real benefit to rewriting if it works fine with Swift)

I’d expect most Swift-first binaries to have even a small amount of ObjC for one of the reasons above. I’d also expect that binaries already containing ObjC would rarely drop it, even if new development is done in Swift.
It could also use scan lines and the beautiful effects of glowing phosphor.

Someone ought to tell them that their new iphones now include wigig radios ubiquitously 5G or not, that same 60ghz mmwave tech that 5G uses. Maybe if nothing else their heads will explode from that fact before they get rid of their vaunted apple device in their pocket or at least just go back to the tinfoil hat so that we can see the crazies coming.
If you look at the chip layout, the Rain one looks like an actual neural network instead of chips that behave like neurons.
This really isn't a DevOps thing. If you hard depend on lots of cloud bullshit and 3rd party services but don't also put in the work to emulate it locally in your dev environment then congrats you can't really run it locally anymore.

I'm in that situation now and the best solution is to just give every dev their own scaled down but complete copy of production with a little magic so the load balancer proxies requests from their dev URL to their laptop. Like it's pants-on-head stupid but I'll be damned if it didn't make onboarding new devs instant.

Indeed, the problem of just saying "you don't need k8s" is you may accidentally invent an even worse in-house version of k8s.
In field theory, IIRC, fields (absent special setups, i.e. in space) are never actual zero, but due to reverse square law they become too small to actually care about quite soon. But the quantum model may have some limitations on that, since stuff can't be arbitrarily small there AFAIK. Not sure what happens about the gravity - likely, Jupiter might influence your coffee, even though in an immeasurably small way, since gravity is very weak. We know the Moon influences our oceans quite prominently. But maybe there are minimums there too?
> Similarly, a 16 December report from Imperial College London found no evidence of diminished hospitalizations from Omicron infections compared with Delta in England, although this was again based on relatively few cases.

I trust almost nothing that comes out of Imperial College these days. The architect and the salesman of the first lockdown (to Boris and then Trump) clearly did not believe in them enough to apply them to himself.

People who meditate often begin to slowly realize that ideas arise without concious thought. We imagine we are "thinking" but there really is no break in causality where we somehow choose how we want the future to unfold. Our brains are no more exempt from cause and effect than a marble rolling downhill is.

It is a mistake to confuse the finger pointing at the moon with the moon itself. We don't preceive everything, our senses are a filter that allows us to navigate but there's no more free will here than a plant turning to follow the sun. Fortunately, we don't experience reality this way. If we did, life would cease to be meaningful.
And then you get the managerial types who demand your presence for morning meetings.

I've never understood why the measure that universities seem to care about is the number of students they reject instead of the number of students above their bar that they are able to educate.

Harvard could easily educate 1-2 orders of magnitude more students than they currently do with their resources. They explicitly choose not to. There are far more students capable of handling and benefiting from a Harvard-level education than currently have access to it.

And for those who are going to respond something akin to that's not the objective Harvard is optimizing, I'm well aware. I'm just lamenting the way things currently are.
No, Omicron making it worse is a fact that I already ceded..
but we have data that shows low (but still around 30%, not 10%) efficacy against infection with Omicron.. and still high efficacy (70%) against hospitalization and death.

But you say "has proven less than 10% effective" ... because you are making stuff up.

Further, it may be a mistake to assume South Africa predicts exactly what will happen here (30% fully vaccinated, nearly 0 boosted, 20% HIV incidence, vs. 60% fully vaccinated, 25% boosted, 0.3% HIV incidence).
(as if I haven't seen it..!)

I now get why Zuck has tied Oculus devices to Facebook accounts, it's a lot easier to corporate-doxx people who might do bad stuff using their Oculus. Although I guess some people could plausibly claim it was someone else using their device (people living with others) and the law usually needs a definitive suspect. If it even reaches the courts, with the broken American justice system...
A fun project.

Separately: it's a step backwards. The advantage of the analogue clock is that you can get a very rapid idea of how much time you have left, or if something is a half hour away etc without having to parse a higher-resolution answer and then do math. In fact for the case at hand (doing an exam) it's exactly what you want.

None of which is criticism of the project of course!
Money is fungible. Each cent spent on X is a cent not spent on Y.

Nuke costs are going up, not down. Lately, it is at $billions for zero watts.

"Not going to be feasible", and "doesn't look practical" are not based in fact. Storage is not being built out yet because solar watts still displace NG watts, 1:1, and storage cost is falling even faster than solar. But the iron-air battery factories we will need are now under construction.

Not sure why you think that. You still have to explain precisely what is superdeterministic and what isn't, and elaborate how this works in a coherent way, and that process will end up telling you a lot. Is that really any different that accepting non-locality to explain spooky action at a distance?
