There are a ton of Ivermectin studies: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-t...

... which if analysed properly, result in the inevitable conclustion that it works as an anti-parasitic and improves outcomes, especially in nations where parasites are common.

To say anything else about it strictly puts the burden of proof on you. If you say it cures COVID, you need to demonstrate this. You also need to demonstrate how this effect isn't the well-demonstrated anti-parasitic benefit that the drug provides.

Look.

This is like saying that plaster casts are pain killers and we should all start eating plaster, despite the well-known use and benefit of plaster casts to physically stabilise broken bones. Moving broken bones hurt. Plaster casts stop the movement. Hence... plaster is a pain killer and should be taken orally to stop any pain -- oh wait -- no, it's only useful for broken bones! Because duh!. To say otherwise makes you look like a lunatic.

I mean... sure... there's a teeny tiny chance that plaster of paris somehow -- magically -- has a pain killing effect. But you'd have to have awfully good evidence that this is so, otherwise people are right to ignore you. Not to mention that ranting and raving and pointing to the studies done on patient pain before and after having been put into casts won't get you anywhere if those studies were done on motor vehicle crash victims only.

you probably have a fairly good shot at getting a junior developer role somewhere. you may not be competitive at getting a role at a highly prestigious top-tier employer who gets a huge number of fresh grad applicants, since such employers afford to be very picky -- but there are plenty of other software jobs out there with decent pay and tolerable working conditions where you can gain practical real world experience working in industry as part of a team on serious projects.

submit job applications to a bunch of places. for each application and interview process there is a fair amount of variability and luck involved in the process generating a job offer even if you would be a strong fit for the role. i wouldn't pay money to 'pivot' --- get a job where you are getting paid to learn on the job as a junior engineer.

Could you elaborate on this a little please? Let's say a computer program was created that could model any protein and any disease perfectly and you could, in an hour or two, take any virus, or disease or whatever, and design a drug that was guaranteed to disrupt it -- or do whatever it is medicines do (I don't know how it all works honestly). Given this, wouldn't it make creating drugs a breeze? Wouldn't that cut down billions on research and testing into drugs that turn out to be failures? If not, what other obstacles does pharma face in creating these drugs?

> Gtk4 is easier to port to other platforms, if anything it should be less painful than it has been before.

Oh, how desperately I wish this were true. My evidence is purely anecdotal, but I've found GTK4 to be almost completely unusable in my time working with it, so much so that I've basically decided to skip this release altogether and just stick with GTK3 for all intents and purposes. It started when I wanted to pull my Glade projects in to the new framework so I can build my apps with XML instead of writing it by hand... oops, that method has been unsupported. But don't worry! There's a replacement app right around the corner that's... not finished yet. Okay, I guess that's not a big deal, I'll just re-write everything by hand! Now it's compiling and doesn't look the least bit native on my system. And there are compositor issues. And the text looks ass-ugly too.

Asking around on IRC, I was told everything from "use Flatpak" to "stop trolling" to "your workflow is unhealthy/insane/unsupported". It would appear that GTK4 is only intended for GNOME extremists, unfortunately. If there are any portability improvements I won't likely see them.
It seems a bit optimistic to say that humans are willing to cohabitate with bears. If there are bears in a human population centre they will be exterminated.

As I told you, it's reached the point where I'm repeating myself. When users repeatedly post flamebait comments that predictably lead to flamewars, we rate limit their accounts (or ban them).

That's not the same thing as saying that "nothing worthy will come out of divisive subjects", because it's still possible to post thoughtfully and substantively about those. I'm not saying it's easy, but it's doable, and that's what we ask of users here. The site guidelines don't say to avoid such topics, they say:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Three more anecdotes here: my mother, uncle, and wife chopped off the tips of their fingers (him doing farm work, them chopping food) and had them grow back. The article talks about kids, but the former two were in their 40s and the latter in her 20s at the time.
Been following them for a while, can’t wait to finally see a Linux oriented headset and I hope it takes off.
Just wanted to share appreciation for how well-put your perspective on reasons to have children is - sorry to add, but especially as a non-parent (since, as you say, it's hard to take into account what happens after the "flips" happen), as well as reasonable and respectable your current stance for not having children is. If more people could see both sides that well, there would be more happy children and less unhappy parents.
It had a TCP/IP stack but you had to install it manually.
Yes, so Minecraft is exactly that. Any "I have mined this block" further than 6 blocks away from the player is ignored. The problem is that on a laggy server, an honest client can end up sending this, if the server lags out for more than 6 blocks of walking your player forward. So, Paper added a patch to undo these disallowed mines, setting them back to what they were. But this happened at any radius, and could be used to lag the server by making it generate any region. Then they patched it again and made it only reply if it were in a loaded chunk. The mistake was that it replies if the coordinate is in a chunk loaded by any player, not just by your player. :) See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29620852
Thank you. I had no idea what was going on. This is actually pretty neat once you explain it.
They didn’t claim it would be.

They claimed it was 90% effective in the (time limited) study which they performed.

It’s fair that you might have misinterpreted that as meaning it will be 90% effective. Especially if you don’t know how viruses work, but that’s not what was actually claimed.

There's a ton of ways it could be done. Looks like a camera pointed right at a monitor, and a webcam recording him.

Ohhh.. speak of looking at the finger rather than the moon. That makes a lot more sense, thank you. For my defense I never came across it yet, IIRC, but I'm not sure it excuses it.

> One of the disappointing things is that it is not possible to make the phone ring because the ringer requires a much higher voltage than can be generated by a small computer.

Voltage can be stepped up using a transformer, no problem. It's that you need 20~25Hz AC and a certain amount of current (see "ringer equivalent" calculations). Either way, you're probably right to skip it for this project :)

For tracking, the spatial resolution was 1 chunk, which is 16 by 16 blocks, and the temporal resolution was 1 second. So, we have a few billion rows of tracking data for every player, localizing them to roughly that distance, roughly once a second.

For downloading bases, it is an essentially perfect recreation. Some things are missing, such as the color of banners, but for 99% of blocks, just setting the correct blockstates will recreate the build. Some disconnected sections of the build might not be found by the paintbucket floodfill algorithm though, so floating parts could be missing. We counteracted this by having a few random blocks in the chunk be checked on a schedule, so eventually it would get everything.

Nuclear is mature tech. There are no surprises in store. About all we can look forward to is less-leaky plants, maybe, and lack of meltdown risk.

Renewables get good news all the time. We know solar will be X% cheaper next year, wind Y%, and storage Z%, for years to come. Electrolytic production of H2 and NH3 is improving fast, with increasingly cheaper catalysts being discovered all the time.

If safe nuke plants could be built without pervasive (wholly legal!) corruption, 3GW in 3 years for $3B, I might be all for it. But I don't know any way to get there.

I don't know, the idea that the spread of the Delta variant can be attributed to the "unvaccinated", whose morality is so low that they also happen to often be "anti-mask" as well.

The post suggests that carefully designed experiments could settle the question. I hope they get performed.
> It never claimed to prevent infection of the latter.

We had some early data that looked like they were probably about ~70% effective for preventing infection, ~90% effective at preventing symptoms, and >95% effective at preventing severe illness.

These numbers are interesting, because they mean you have less of a chance of becoming infected, but a larger chance, if infected, of being an asymptomatic carrier. So it's difficult to predict the net effect on transmission (probably a benefit, but..)

Now for 2 doses of mRNA vaccine, our best guesses for omicron are more like ~??%, ~30%, and ~70% respectively. Offsetting it slightly is that it looks like omicron may be a bit less likely to cause severe illness at baseline. But, no matter what, this is a big setback.
I'm curious how you know the real sentiment in Taiwan, and also how you arrived at the conclusion that everyone in east Asia knows China will attempt unification before the next election? I live in Taiwan, and I've never met anyone that said fuck the U.S. for not offering real support. I've heard people acknowledge that the U.S. doesn't sell Taiwan the latest defense tech, but are also aware that Taiwan is a rich country and can afford to pay for its own defense. The U.S. shouldn't discourage Taiwan from developing its own capabilities.

As for invasion within the next two years, I suppose none but some inner circle in China really knows, but that it's a guaranteed fact is not a consensus belief here. If it was true, people and money would be pouring out of Taiwan. From the outside, Taiwan sounds like a besieged island expecting incoming missiles any moment, but life is typical here. People are concerned with real estate prices, getting a promotion at work, construction noise in the neighborhood, climate change, etc. You'd think a place with such grim prospects about the future wouldn't have time to worry about animal welfare or environmentalism. However, any given weekend you can find thousands of volunteers going to clean up litter on beaches, or working in animal shelters.

There are several parts embryo development that does operate on chemical gradients especially the initial stages. But like most of biology it gets really complex and isn’t limited to any one approach.

For example as you gain fat tissue you need to increase the number of capillaries feeding that tissue, which in tern needs to link up to arterioles and arteries on one side and veins on the other. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK53238/ This happens well into adulthood.

Yeah this seems like yet another attempt by someone to use different words to explain the exact same quantum theory we have always been using, then trying to claim because they used different words they somehow came up with a special new theory.
There really isn’t, and that’s what the OP is saying. But this is worth knowing about:

`true` in Javascript is a primitive, so it doesn’t have any methods on it—it’s just a simple value. But you can do `true.toString()` in JS. How? The engine will automatically convert the primitive to an object so that you get those methods. It’s less useful for booleans, but strings obviously have lots of useful methods that you’d want to use with the actual underlying primitive values.

But yeah, since the language does it automatically for you, you should never do something like `new Boolean(true)`, or `new String(‘hello world’)`. The objects are created when you need them and cleaned up when you don’t.
How do you have the exact quotation and why is it phrased as a double negative? That sentence just doesn’t sound authoritative or believable in any way.

Ah please, I've seen my share. All the peter principle might be true, that doesn't mean what I say isn't complementary. I can criticize them all day long (which I do enough already).

This wasn't an apraisal but a metalevel observation. Hierarchies survived enough.. they must have enough intrisic value. In structures, very few people have knowledge (everything is distributed and fuzzy), most of them react, the irrationality just bubbles up until someone has just enough distance to calm the irrationality. It might lead to a bad solution (boss can just shove the effort down back onto employee) but somehow the fuzzy information problem is reduced to its minimum in this tree.

If you're interested, the paper says the underlying data is freely available on request.
Some of these things are new, but some have been around for years and decades. No one HAD to buy a server - co-location/bare-metal hosting has existed for years before AWS. The same for printing. Stripe perhaps made the biggest difference, mostly because this field is more tightly regulated so there is more value to a one-stop-shop solution.

While they might provide "a" solution, those "API" services also don't solve provide a complete/optimal solution (You still need to understand information retrieval to make your search work well), and they sometimes create new problems (as demonstrated by the plethora of cloud consultants).

For non-core activities it could be fine, but for activities the affect the product itself (E.g., search is essential for e-commerce), outsourcing all responsibility to a vendor is risky.
This may work in a startup but seems like a recipe for disaster in a traditional established corporation. We have seen many flavours of no-management, zero hierarchy engineering frameworks been sold as the ultimate solution to all problems but there lacks independent data about the efficiency compared to traditional models.
