No... JPA writes out a file with the necessary DDL and the administrator runs it.

> Ivermectin for example also has only equivocal evidence for its use

well it was actually pretty promising in some countries data early on. the problem is when you extrapolate that data to the world at large you have problems with populations. so yes, ivermectin is useful in areas that have parasites that can cause the host to die from when in a weakened state due to the immunosupressing drugs that they give to stop the cytokine storms that kill covid patients, exactly the populations that the data showed a benefit from and also standard course in those countries. when done in places without a high risk of secondary parasitic infection the data was that it was not useful.

There were/are some studies done now because it's so cheap but it's not really all that effective outside of it being an secondary treatment in those parasitic prone countries.

But since it showed promise there the antivaxxers were hell bent on using it regardless of the why because it wasn't a vaccine and here we are.

Too much vitamin D is bad too and you definitely don't want that and without data supporting it being highly effective against covid it's not useful as a prophylactic. That said, vitamin D is generally correlated with a better immune system response against respiratory illness. supplementing a reasonable amount is not usually considered harmful but it's wise to talk to a doctor.
"Peng accused the former vice premier Zhang Gaoli of having coerced her into sex"

She then seems to have vanished and then various clumsily handled "sightings" were obviously orchestrated. Then we have this "retraction" nonsense. It's all a bit clumsy. There is absolutely no point in even trying to cover up a cover up like this. I can only conclude it is to provide some form of coverage for domestic use.

Whatever the relative merits of Peng's accusation, her subsequent treatment is not the act of a nation governed even vaguely equitably. There is no attempt to demonstrate some form of judicial process, whereby an accusation is investigated in some way. The accuser simply disappeared and then surfaces periodically and I suspect that it is only the fact that she is an important sports person that this ridiculous process is being carried out.

Depending on how charitable you are feeling, the handling of Peng's "story" by the local authorities is either breathtakingly naive or callously dismissive.

all you have to do is e.g.

I ordered a small Klein bottle from him, and the best part wasn't even the bottle I eventually received. It was the emails he sent me as he prepared the shipment, along with photos of him wrapping the bottle, his wife's garden, the bike he rides to the post office. Second best thing was the hand-written note he included thanking me for the order. Third best thing is the bottle itself, but honestly, it's just another knick-knack on my shelf.
You touched on something I struggle with. If it's not too personal do you mind if I ask how you navigated that discussion with your wife?

I hold great hope that one day I'll be able to spend 5-10 hours a week learning.

Superformance has a license from Carroll Shelby (from when he was alive) to build replicas of the original Shelby Cobra. They are the only replica maker I'm aware of with a real license to call their car a "Shelby Cobra". All superformance cars are sold without an engine or gearbox, so someone decided to put a tesla motor in rather than the more traditional Ford 351.

Getting vehicles registered in most US states is shockingly easy, and even if you live in a tougher state it's easy to register in another (for example, a huge number of supercars in LA are registered in Montana to avoid taxes and emissions tests). Cobras are deathtraps, but that's a big part of why people still want one 60 years later.

Rethinking Extinction
Please enlighten me on the games that intentionally implement misinterpreting player inputs. Accusing me of knowing nothing about games is a pretty reckless claim. Think about how fucking stupid that kind of thing is to claim of a random stranger. Games aren’t even a niche subject area,

“Output randomness”, as in, rolling a d20 to see how your attack goes is not remotely close conceptually to the idea of a game that intentionally misinterprets your controls.

If you choose to attack, your attack might not succeed. But that’s not a good analogy for a disability. Those are the rules everybody plays by. A disability like a stutter would be you decide you want to attack but then the game decides you’re going to use a useless item instead.

Until a new variant comes along which bypasses natural immunity and we are looking at Populationmortality_rate0.9ish deaths. The problem is we can only push mortality_rate so much with new medicine and hospital bets, missing days at work are other externalities.

Vaccinations move from the population in to the vaccinated bucket which has preferable externality rates and if enough people are vaccinated we might be able to even push 0.9ish fudge factor lower.
This didn’t work so well with the vaccine in developing countries
Sure that will be a lot of it. Robots also require lots and lots of both skilled and unskilled labor to maintain. Christopher Mims has a great pop business book out this year about the state of automation in logistics and industry. One of the emphases he makes is which things are being automated now and what types of jobs for people that automation creates at multiple skill levels and social classes.

I think when it comes to articulating this to the public and to the government, I would never say "robots are replacing all skilled labor," because that would predispose the legislator or the staffers supporting the legislator to think about what they could do to quash it.

Do you not understand where the problem is here?

If the scientists were, at the time, not yet sure how the vaccine affected transmission. The correct 'fact check' should have been:

"There is no conclusive evidence to claim COVID-19 vaccines prevent people from spreading the disease."

instead of

"There is no conclusive evidence to claim COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent people spreading the disease."

A bit late now, don't you think? Why don't you go edit your earlier misquotes and change the deceptive implications of the misquotes as well? I never claimed anyone was attacking "algebra", just the ability of all students to easily take it "early" (i.e. before high school), as has been traditionally allowed.

Feel free to apologize and change my mind, but I have you flagged as a liar and the conversation will proceed accordingly.
You seem very, very attached to a conclusion that isn’t supported by your own information. Are you really sure you haven’t been “warped by a narrative?”

Volunteering is nice but I think rarely takes up enough time to be a significant part of one's life. I'm not going to form deep connections with people or feel a deep sense of accomplishment volunteering somewhere for an hour or two a week.

Even if I quit my job, lived off savings and did volunteer work full-time, I'm likely not going to run into many other people like that. I could start taking a more active role and organizing, maybe with other full-time volunteers.

The work I'm doing while volunteering is also generally likely going to be less interesting to me than the software engineering work at a tech company. Maybe I'd be doing some kind of software engineering work full-time at a non-profit.

But at that point I've just traded in my job at a tech company with one at a non-profit. Ignoring whether this is better for the world overall (I'm skeptical it is, but whatever), how is it better for me?

edit: Not to imply that for some people, full-time work at a volunteer or non-profit organization can't be fulfilling, but I'm very skeptical that this is the case for most, or even many people.

Whats really surprising is if you look at the results, the only pure swift binary (that isn't under libswift*) is a protocol buffers library, rather then adapting the existing c++ one maintained by google.

And of course by that you mean your critical thinking which is pure and thoughtful and sublime, while their critical thinking is biased and full of crisis and smells foul because it contradicts you.

Because that is what armchair discussions actually are. No real critical thinking, just scratching one's own ass.
That still doesn't show it's impossible, only that nobody is doing it at present.

I remember talking to some exchange students from Greece. There, college is 100% free (no debt). This is guaranteed by their constitution, and the system simply has to adapt. For example, nearly everyone lives with their parents, books are free because they have to be, etc.

More broadly, all of these costs seem like they could be reduced, if you had the proper incentives.

"Food and housing" comes to $900/month, living with parents. Are they suggesting students are eating $900 worth of food ($30/day!), or does this include some type of rent paid to their parents as well? I spend about $300/month on food, and I'm not even that stingy. Where does the extra $600 go?

The average high school in my country spends $4/student/day on providing school lunches. This includes labour costs - we're talking basically catering. Naively extrapolating this, we get $12/day ($360/month) for three proper meals a day.

For that matter, why are the dorms so expensive? Isn't it their land? Why don't they just lower the rents? $1200 food+rent implies $900 rent, which is obviously way more than you need to maintain a dorm room.

If they're living on campus, why do they need to spend $135/month on transportation anyway? Isn't the entire point that the place they need to be is right there? A bicycle works out to $50 one-time cost, plus let's say $10/year in repairs.

What's the $1000/year on books get them? Why can't the university simply use cheaper books? Wikipedia tells us: "East Bay has a student body of almost 15,000". That's $15 million per year. For that much money, couldn't you just buy up the rights for all the books you needed and put them into the public domain?

I just don't understand why you couldn't simply make the schools more effective.
Find a language you LOVE. To not mince words I mean something like APL, Haskell, F#, prolog, LISP etc. Life is too short to live in a state of tolerance of your language. Finding a place that will employ you using LOVE language is the next step towards happiness optimization. Note this does not preclude a startup!
I see benefits of it, but I think its a hard sell. In aviation things need certified, you can buy off the shelf compilers, RTOSs, and libraries certified for aviation. Rust doesn't have any of that.

Medical devices, maybe, but you still have the problem of finding talent. If you were to build a product on Rust, you would have trouble hiring people to maintain it over the lifecycle of the product.

Its hard enough hiring C and C++ developers.
Mostly learned as I went! I had never before implemeneted Monte Carlo localization, or DBSCAN, or a disjoint union find; it was a lot of research and trial and error. I'd honestly recommend Wikipedia! I also read a lot of blog posts such as on data clustering in order to decide how to write an algorithm to tell what is and isn't a single contiguous base.

The main expense was priority queue, which is a $20/account/month payment to 2b2t to be able to join the server faster. Probably nearing a thousand dollars on that. We lightened this by creating a proxy system where other builders could join through our headless, and it would add nocom exploit packets from their account to 2b2t, and peel off the responses on the way back. They got a more reliable experience with less disconnects, and we got some extra capacity for free (completely unbeknownst to them of course haha). By the end, all the overworld accounts were being paid for and used by other people, I only had to cover the 2 accounts in the nether.

About $300 on a new 2TB nvme drive for postgres. An unknown amount on electricity. Other than that, all the big processing ran on an existing homelab server (thanks to fr1kin). About $150 on digitalocean for a droplet to run the headless minecraft with minimal ping to 2b2t ($10/month). Backups were just WAL rsyncs to postgres replicas ran (again on homelabs) by myself and a few others.
It's not perfect, but the vaccinated people shed way less virus, and are contagious for a much shorter window of time.

I found a company where the people are lovely, it's pretty small (45 people) and we make enough money to pay everyone and give raises. The leadership don't force you to eat shit and they actively back you up when you need help, advice, or the client needs a reality check.

I've never been happier and I'd stay even if my pay stagnates.
Yup, I’m at DDOG too and around $200K total comp as engineer 1. I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of SE2s are at $250k or more.
In my experience, its because the tools that are given to the dev team are opaque, poorly documented, made for a general case that rarely is sufficient, and usually locked down with some role based access control to the point where, even if I can figure out whats wrong with some pipeline, I rarely have the access to change something. I have an AWS Codepipeline that I can see running, but the logs from each step are sent to a Cloudwatch instance running in another AWS account, which only the devops folks can view. I have a Jenkins pipeline that was cookie cutter from what the devops team offers. If I wanted to actually grok whats occurring during the pipeline, I'd have to jump between 3 or 4 github repos, and also account for the versions/branches on each one.

It really feels worse than back in my websphere days, where in order to see app logs, we had to submit a ticket to the hosting teams and wait 2 days for a .log file to be sent back through email. I'm consistently left wondering if we've actually gained anything.

Filling the disk queue usually helps with the IO throughout part, sequential stats not attempting to queue requests will never saturate the bandwidth of a modern device.

There's also the page cache involved for reads, so it can be read while actual IO is queued.

My favourite part of this has to be the social engineering used to get the exploit patched in.
Part of it is leveling, but another part is trying to tone down the tournament aspect of K-12 education, that places undue stress on kids without necessarily making them any smarter in the long run. How many AP classes is your kid taking? That's a huge drag on the kids who enjoy learning more than they enjoy competition.

And the kids who are "advanced" in math greatly outnumber those who are still doing anything with math by age 25, which is close to zero, even in supposedly technical fields. I was not an exceptional math student in high school, but became a math major and still use math today.

And it distorts the subject matter itself. 40 years ago, my high school didn't offer calculus because it would be "elitist," though we did have an elite hockey team. But at the same time, we got more interesting material in math, including proofs and problems that had no answer. Today: No proofs, but lots of drill work. Proofs were what made math come alive for me.
Yup, that's why I'm trying to make the positive mindset a habit and hopefully keep it as I get older. We'll see how it ends up.
I think that was the (clickbait) idea... :(
We're looking at implementing SCIM right now (I work for a competitor of Okta). Will definitely forward your comments along to the eng team.
Noria is great research. Though, for anyone wanting to play with it for new projects, be aware that Jon (the author) has said that it's basically research-quality software, and the point was more to be a proof of value rather than to build a new production database.
this is the PDF report page:

this document is already in my own research library, along with the similarly solid 2018 version (thx linux and pdf). The interactive graphics in the web-page version make for reader engagement certainly, but I prefer the details and the references.

My own take on the topic is that it is both impressive, and problematic, to take on "The World's Forests" in one overview, since the context is so very,very different on each continent and in each biome.

Interesting read, thanks, but so far I don't get the impression that the gold standard features as prominently in the explanations as you claim?

I don't know enough about the Great Depression to have a good opinion, but the discussion seems to rage on in present times, and there certainly are points of views that I consider unlikely to be correct. As an example, I don't think Krugman's babysitting circle is sufficient proof to bet the fate of nations on printing money.

Economics is also not my specialisation, I only find it interesting.

Science is also not a democracy - scientific truth is not decided by democratic vote, and there are many examples throughout history when the mainstream consensus was wrong. Therefore I admit I find statements like "only ideologists still peddle other theories" a bit odd. Not saying ideology does not affect things, I said so myself. It may be more likely that a theory is affected by ideology than not.

Pretty much the definition of a nothingburger. One of the major vaccine makers did trials on children, and not a single child out of thousands had severe Covid, not even in the control group.

It's important to understand this first.

Then, the numbers of CHILDREN who SELF-IDENTITY symptoms report single digits of lingering symptoms 125 days after infection.

Given the nature of children, their worried parents, and their susceptibility to a variety of factors, I would consider this study proof that Covid doesn't harm children, and is in fact harmless to them by being pretty darn close to the margin of error, and ascribing the rest to self reporting.

This reminds me of when I learned feng shui as a child. Objects have to be placed strategically around the house to properly direct the flow of chi. Layout issues such as bad corners can be corrected by hanging a crystal in that area. Also, you should always leave the toilet lid shut to prevent the flow of chi down the sewer pipe.

Nope. Immunocompromised people need extra doses of the vaccine, and even then it doesn't work as well.

In an article that says all of the following very clearly...

>Meanwhile, there is currently no conclusive evidence to claim the COVID-19 vaccine stops people spreading the virus that causes the disease – nor is there for the opposite.

>Scientists do not yet know whether COVID-19 vaccinations will reduce transmission because this was not tested in the trials.

>With the latter, this could mean the virus continues to replicate in the nose and throat, and is still able to spread.

>Scientists are not yet sure of how the vaccine affects transmission – and this is currently undergoing research.

... you are seizing on a single double-negative to claim you've been misled? A double-negative which is equally as accurate as what you would like it corrected to, because in the body of the article it says there's no evidence one way or the other?

This is really the hill you're choosing to die on?
