I'm not a doctor but I belive the Black Death is bubonic plague, a bacterium. While yes that will evolve as well, the natural selection on bacteria happens on a very different time scale to a virus.

And hoping not to start a thread on antibiotics and superbugs, but bacteria do naturally select as well.

The Spanish Flu followed a similar path to Covid, it started deadly but then naturally selected to become less deadly. Its also somewhat unusual because of the numbers of displaced persons at the time returning home, the lack of basic medical knowledge etc.

But here's my point. The Spanish flu has mutated now to be basically Flu. It's not "deadly" anymore (for some definition of deadly). Non deadly mutations naturally select over deadly mutations.
Yes, and they as enough still others believe that you don't solve one huge problem by going back to another huge problem.
Survivors' bias at it best right here. In reality, what happens is you set that point you will not go past, but when the "need" and desperation comes you ignore that point or rationalize an exception and go past it, each time you do this you undermine your own authority to control yourself. The more you climb up and then fall the less you can climb up out of the hole again.

Discipline and self control are the key and to obtain those one must establish a good relationship with one's self and thereby regain acceptance of the legitimacy and force of one's authority over self. But the core of the matter is, why did the person's relationship with themselves go bad or did they never learn to like themselves and respect their own voice?

I know you're expressing a common sentiment that likely the majority of people in most countries share, but planetary emergencies don't care what country you're in. The country model is ill-equipped to deal with emergencies on a global scale - I mean, just look at the past 2 years as a case study...

Idle games can have lots of addiction inducing dark patterns:

1) resources you can buy with real money;

2) massively increased rewards due to active gameplay;

3) daily gambling rewards;

4) reset-based system when you're grinding to reach some some level, only for everything to be reset for some incremental reward.

Worst offenders I tried are NGU idle (overwhelmingly positive steam rating), Trimps, the perfect tower, which aren't actually idle, but rather incremental.

A good rule of thumb is - if having a bot for a game would put you in a massive advantage then it's not an idle game, but rather an incremental game - a genre that is designed to be played for 'idle' amounts of time (forever basically) but actively, so will likely feature as many dark patterns as possible to keep you glued (and paying).

On the other hand, here's a game like Melvor idle - true idle in spirit with little differentiation between online and offline, no resets, no gambling, yet still with plenty of depth around optimization. Relaxing, yet engaging.

I was introduced to Ubuntu by a then 50 or so old electrician about 15 years ago.

He had bought a second hand machine from a school or something and the sysadmin there refused pirate licenses and pre-installed Ubuntu for them.

When the disk broke (or something, it wasn't software related IIRC) he asked me to get back the brown system because he liked it.

And that my intro to Ubuntu. I had used Linux for a couple of years already but Gnome before Ubuntu wasn't something I used voluntarily so it was a reql surprise to me that someone had made Gnome great.

Anyways, since then I have said that Linux is for people who don't know about computers - and for people who know what they are doing.

The people it doesn't seem to work for is people who have used Windows or Mac before and have picked up a few tricks and refuse to learn anything new.
What is "quickly enough"?

Isn't the reaction time today somewhere on the order of a few milliseconds? How much could a component overheat in that time? The maximum current, though high, is still limited, after all.

Also, there is "thermally governed", and there is that hard reset once a critical temperature has been reached. I'm admittedly ignorant, but a "extremely short reaction time" with regards to a critical event seems like something that one could reasonably expect.

"I static'ed my component X" is something one hears frequently, but I don't think I've ever read about anyone frying their CPU anytime in the last decade.

Edit: Looking at a somewhat recent paper [1] studying CPU frequency transition latency, even the highest latencies were still within 70µs(!). I think one could reasonably expect a similar or better latency regarding critical protection circuitry.

I think you got me wrong then. I WANT authoring files and redistributables to differ. Nobody should send SVG, xcf, psd files to the consumers. We use PNG or JPEG for pixel graphics, why not send of TinyVG instead of SVG, but use SVG as the source file.

This is what i've done for a lot of test files until i had the TinyVG text form ready.

Also, we should not edit graphic files in a code editor. We have better tools for that
Funny, from my perspective about 50% of the features you list I would consider "spending time developing things I don't want".

There are a plethora of streaming boxes out there. Arguably the best is an Nvidia shield pro, which I use. It runs everything you want and more (YouTube, plex, jellyfin, iptv, local tv station apps...), via the Google Play store. If you want to run unofficial apps, you can unlock that with some initial setup. After that it’s dead easy to use for non techies and blazing fast compared to cheaper android boxes or apps that are packaged with smart TVs.
The same IDEs generate the JS files when they are done with checking, so like why bother with a lesser solution.

Related: a lot of intellectual people don’t have a tv, and like to make a statement of it.

I was like that for a while, but then as I got older I realised it was much smarter to buy a tv, put it in the living room, and never use it. Now people think I’m normal and I never get questioned about why I don’t have a tv, why I read so much, do I think I’m above popular culture etc.

Amusingly, I did once get busted when a friend wanted to use said TV and it turned out the card in the cable box had expired months before. Didn’t even know it had a card - the cable box came with my broadband/phone line package. Got rid of the box after that.

I guess the more modern equivalent would be to watch an episode or two of Netflix shows now and then.

Partly it's often a break through point (as in "I never knew there was an alternative allowed" - a conversation years ago with some people from Mid West reported that till a certain age they simply did not know Atheism was a thing - it was a choice between this God and that.

But more probably it is that once there stops being a prime mover, the question becomes how did the universe / world / us come into existence. I guess atheism is the model before evolution. But we needed to get to evolution first before atheism became the obvious solution.

Not very surprising when you see that Areva/Framatome was involved :^) /s

All jokes aside, having worked for a manufacturer of nuclear equipment, delay are usually the result of two factor: One is that the sales department of the companies involved are "very optimistic", and by that I mean, they ask engineer to do an estimation for the time/cost of designing/manufacturing one part, and then ask them to slash it by half (talking from experience, sadly, ...). They want to make sure that they get the contract so they make unrealistic proposition and then make sure that the contract is made so that they can still profit when the project will take twice the time and money.

The second is the level of standard for this type of construction and equipment which is, thankfully, extremely high. A single small scratch could mean that you had to scrap and redo a lot of part of a thermal exchanger or tank. So, even the tiniest of manufacturing defect, or even slight damaged made when testing of moving the piece, can mean months of delay to redo and qualify the piece.

Agree here. The initial personality and mindset development happens in childhood..

1. How parents treat/behave with kids, among themselves and others are observed and adopted or disliked by kids.

2. Bullying in schools are another one.

3. How elder kids treat the younger one.

4. Beyond that, every kid has his/her own nature and character by birth. All Siblings are different despite having same parents, same upbringing, same environment at home.
Shape seems to be a very superficial trait. One need only consider an elephant's trunk. In terms of shape and size, it has more in common with my leg, but ask anyone, "What is an elephant's trunk?" and they will immediately tell you "A nose!"

When it comes to examining various lifeforms and fossil remains to determine ancestory, it seems to be more a matter of homology - the relationships between parts. Whether it's the same part over long periods of time (ex. comparing differences in the thumb) or different parts within the same individual (ex. comparing the big toe and thumb) or interspecies similarities (ex. the similarities of hands, feet, paws and flippers), evolution is a story of relationships, not size or shape.

Let's call a spade a spade. You're blowing it way out of proportion while in reality it's an issue that impacts an incredibly small fraction of the userbase.
ohh the memories.

This is how it all started out for me, in the end of the 90, at 11 to 14 I made my way from a lousy lurker to a top-site tech admin. Those were the days I tell you.

I started out as a kid in the FXP scene learning PHP to modify our bulleting boards (vbb & woltlab) back in the day with statistical data, to compare crews on a board working against each other.

Well as kids are, with 14 I idled regularly on the #PHP quakenet channel, as the scene was using IRC all day long anyway. As you are with 14, I blasted out, that "PHP can solve all of my problems, why would anyone ever learn something else" upon which a london financial coder basically told me "come here boy, I will show you what real programming actually looks like" and thaught me c# over the course of year, remotely with RDP.
Suffice to say I was hooked and having a mentor that really explained to me the advantages of strongly typed programming languages, I fell in love with c# too and shortly after decided to try to run my first startup with it.

Luckily where i live none of that was illegal at the time and legislation only cought up years later, but boy was it brilliant.
It felt like the smartest tech people from all branches gathered in IRC to keep themselves entertained, but at the same time shared their wisdom with you. Sure, they would try to troll you too, but thats more an initiation ritual :D
I mean that explicitly having to request the permissions an app needs from the OS using a simple, powerful syntax is smart and Deno got it right.

As long as the commands are not secret, you could have your terminal just fetch them from a web server after logging in via the console and source it if the hash checksum of the page equals an expected value. If the checksum does not meet the expectation you either updated the commands in the file without updating the expected hash or the file server has been compromised.
It seems way nicer to have a language that treats strings as byte arrays and use libraries to handle encodings than to have a language that treats strings as UCS-2 and use libraries to handle UTF-8 strings that live inside of UCS-2 strings.

No, I believe it's the right decision and I respect it. Encoding charsets are continuously evolving and shouldn't be baked into a language specification.

That's right we did. It was due to the killing of Mark Duggan by the police :

It only lasted a few days, as the police came down hard on the criminals. Think of it as a precursor to the BLM riots.

Yeah it could but it’s not
One difference is that there won't be a built-in string type with operator[] defined as something other than returning the byte at the indexed position in the array of bytes. There could be most other things one would expect from language-level string support though.
Has anyone here had experience with Glauca? I'm curious about them because they support RFC 2136.
you sound like someone that would just use leech ftp :D

Flash FXP was used because it had site to site transfer, where you could use the FTP protocol directly from one server to another, therefore you would not need to upload a file to 100 servers with 5kbs but would be able to upload it once and send it directly over to the next node at 100mbits or more. Not many clients got the fxp protocol just as right as they do =)
That's a nice idea but definitely not reality. Just try learning a language at different stages of life. I guess you could argue it's still the responsibilities holding you back but the difference is so stark that it's clear it's not just that.

> it’s not criminal to remove functionality from a previously-sold device

I'm sure it's not criminal, given today's laws.

Think about that statement though. It absolutely should, morally, be criminal to take away something that was sold as functioning.

Imagine in the 80s that VCR manufacturers sent people to your home at night to open your VCR and cut some traces so it could play but no longer record. Would be an outrage. Also, fortunately, was in practice impossible.

Just because today devices are built to enable damaging functionality from afar doesn't means it is suddenly ok.
All depends on the area you want to work in. Most jobs by me are using Dot Net. Probably best to just pick one and focus on it. And decide if you want to work for a cool startup or a bigger company. Both good in their own way I guess.

>Research shows that nothing doctors recommend has any effect on weight loss except bariatric surgery.

This mostly reflects on what doctors recommend rather than blanket discipline failure across a broad population. I can tell you what my local Kaiser recommended for T2D and obesity:

1) they send you to a Registered Dietician who shows you a modernized food pyramid based heavily on grains. Minimize animal fats, replacing with seed oils. 70% calories as carbohydrate.

2) MD flat tells you "you MUST eat 6 small meals a day so you never get hungry."

What was done instead: Time Restricted Feeding, 4-6 hour window, low carb, limiting to mostly keto first half of window.

As everyone keeps posting about SA and saying omicron is relatively harmless, here’s the only scientific study I’ve found on the topic, in the BMJ:

“After adjusting for vaccination status, the risk of hospital admission for newly diagnosed adults is 29% lower than in the first wave,”

https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n3104

With a doubling time of two days, this reduction in the probability of hospitalisation seems irrelevant in preventing the overwhelming of health systems. As others have pointed out, experts on Twitter seem very very worried and I’m more inclined to go with them (and the exponential function) than with my antivaxxer friend’s posts on Facebook.

Here in the U.K. it already looks to me like London’s hospitals are going to be overwhelmed; I don’t understand why everyone isn’t panicking and we’re not already in a lockdown.
Well I can definitely blame them.

It would be great if it worked both ways. Let’s say an employee who is forced to work unpaid overtime (two jobs amount) could use power imbalance to threaten the company into paying one year of their revenue.

If his work quality is really that bad, why not fire him already? What if he was simply super lazy but with one job, why not make an example of him for other slackers?

Due to Political Reasons, they decided to limit the permit on number of reactors - not total power.

Hence they had to build one ginormous reactor, facing numerous issues caused by venturing into the limits of maximum power per reactor.

Had they permitted 4 * 400MW instead of 1 * 1600MW, the plant would have been in production for years already.

RE the alternative question: 2FA is _not_ an alternative to password managers -- it's like seat-belts and brakes on a car, you're going to want both. You need a password manager to keep track of the random password you've set for each of the hundred sites you log into; and you should use 2FA for high-value sites in case the password you used for that site gets stolen (like via malware infestation on your computer, or you're tricked into entering your credentials on a phishing page, etc).
Yeah, as someone who started out in JS with procedural jQuery, moved onto prototype overloading shenanigans with classes, and now React with functional components - the JS ecosystem and tooling is still a huge mess, but I wouldn't want to go back to jQuery or prototype class hacks. At least a modern React codebase has a whiff of engineering to it. No matter how carefully we did stuff the old way at the companies I worked for, it sooner or later became an unmaintainable mess of hacks and overrides.
