I can answer for the type stable julia case, if you have a struct in julia that is composed only of primitive types this is stored as a C struct with zero overhead and fixed byte length. An array of these is then crazy efficient when it comes to streaming into the CPU etc. If you dig around the GPU support in Julia you can see this used to good effect.
The facts are sound, the product photography is solid, you just need to stay away from the opinions which are... hot takes at best.

I agree, but there are two obstacles to actually getting paid:

- The amount you can be paid for any sort of work has a range. The ceiling of the range is the value you added, the floor of the range is how expensive it would be to get someone else to do it. Since in open source the competition costs zero, this sets a very low floor for how much you can charge.

- Wanting to be paid is indeed reasonable, but just wanting it is often not enough when it comes to companies. There will be contracts involved, minimum time commitments, purchasing processes if the company is big enough, etc. Navigating all that is what will turn open source back into a job, if you really make work of getting paid for it.
Just a reminder that the booster stimulates your immune system in the same way as an exposure would, and hives is a possible effect of COVID-19.

But the CDC did "bury that information" - on their website (last updated 5 weeks ago): https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/al...
What's the difference between "triggered in error" and "sent out by mistake" then? In this context they seem like the same..

One of the worst-worded security communications I've seen. I'm dropping them.
> We estimated an extra two (95% confidence interval (CI) 0, 3), one (95% CI 0, 2) and six (95% CI 2, 8) myocarditis events per 1 million people vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively, in the 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273.

16 in 1,000,000 for two doses. For reference, your chance of being struck by lightning in any given year is 1 in 1,222,000.

Oh, and:

> This compares with an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) myocarditis events per 1 million patients in the 28 days following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test.
I dont think that is limited to free speech, that pretty much applies to all freedoms.

The number of people that can separate how they would choose to act, or live their life, and how the law should be applied to people is very slim.

Most people want the law to support their choices in life, thus if they don't believe blue cars should exists there should be a law that prohibits blue cars.

Over my couple decades of advocacy for more liberty, I have found that in general people do not want liberty, they want validation of their life choices
Why is this one being downvoted when in fact what OP is saying is a 100% truth? Vaccines won't stop the spread because it's a sliding window problem. You vaccinate 10m people today, then you vaccinate 10m people tomorrow, by the time you vaccinate another 10m, the first 10m already lost their antibodies. We'd have to vaccinate the entire population within 4-6 months, which is impossible given the current state of things. There are no transactional guarantees, so to speak.

On top of all of that, vaccines do not stop the spread, but just ease out symptoms. You can be vaccinated and your symptoms can be so mild that you won't even know you are sick. So you'll walk around infecting others.
Same here in Canada. I used to take the train between Montreal and Toronto frequently and I don't actually remember it ever being on time. It usually was 30-60 minutes late, since Via Rail shared rail with freight trains, but had a lower priority so it often needed to wait.
Don't Look Up Was a the funniest thing I have seen all year. Imagine the fall of rome, but with twitter. Perfect acting all around, with a script so gin clear in it's portrayal of human nature you can see all the way to the bottom.
You need to read your own reference materials more carefully and you're making flawed assumptions.

For example, the headline 'it's going to take 700 years to restore Ocean CO2 levels' is misleading to the point of essentially false. The primary research indicates, more specifically that reducing atmospheric CO2 levels to pre-industrial levels, will result in oceanographic levels of C02 being restored to their pre-industrial levels 700 years later.

This is something completely different from direct Co2 extraction, which would be expensive but definitely feasible and would be a much shorter time span.

It's a 'nice to know fact' but that it would take 700 years to 'fix' the ocean merely by 'fixing' the atmosphere is not decisive.

Second - your statements that 'It would take 10 000 for Co2 to all to normal levels if we dissapeared' is just not true. First of all, is false. You can't just use 'high school math' because on that timeline there are other, major forces at play. But even if it did take 10 000 years, it's not very helpful.

"Do you get a sense of what I am talking about? A few hundred paltry nuclear power plants don't even compare to erasing the US and China from this planet."

This is wrong.

Here is the Energy Mix in the USA [1]

60% Fossil fuels 20% renewable 20% Nuclear roughly.

Note that the 20% Nuclear was built out, a long time ago, over a few decades.

15% of that 20 points renewable is almost entirely from the last 10 years.

If the US started right now, they could triple capacity and get to 60% Nuclear within 30 years. Renewables could add another 20% - and then you have 'no more Co2'.

That's 100% feasible by using technology that existed a long time ago, and under normative budgetary constraints.

This is High School Math:

$7B USD/1GW Nuclear plant, there are 50 in the US today for 20%, so another 100 plants to get to 60% that's only 700 Billion dollars - chump change.

$700 Billion spread over 30 years of construction, better yet amortized over 70 years life cycle?

That's $10 Billion per year, amortized.

Will US creditors go for that? Yes.

Will the USD get shaken if they start financing it themselves via Fed Money Magic? No.

If they devoted 5% to 'clean up efforts' it would go a long way towards solving the problem. China and Europe could do the same.

Then, the developing world can be banned from using fossil fuels, with the threat of violence if need be (i.e. carrots and sticks), and we can have built, or work with them to have some nuclear and other types of sources.

Many of the poorest places are going to work really well on Solar anyhow.

We should probably start building a lot of Nuclear plants 'right now' and in 10 years, depending on how it's going, we can either accelerate, or change gears.

There would be no harm in jumping to 30% Nuclear as an interim target.

Society works when people feel better off within than without, when that's not true, then people stop respecting laws and generally act asocial.

Copyright holders get an excellent deal by living in a society that allows them to collect rents that can add up into the millions of even billions.

But how about the work-a-day folks? What's in it for them? An abstract idea that allowing the descendants of creators to collect economic rents for generations after their death, might result in a greater throughput in creative works... somehow. No, for society to work, then rent seeking must be reigned in.

A copyright wealth tax would still allow rights holders to become fabulously wealthy, but they'd have to give something back in return. Something more than normal income tax, because of the rent seeking nature of their enterprise.
in the portrait and video range, high end older lenses can still compete. digital sensors have only recently surpassed 35mm film in resolution, and professional 20th century photographers had similar demands for detail across the frame.

and it only really matters if you're doing significant enlargement and cropping towards the edge in post, which most consumers simply won't.

professionals will always want the best, but i've got a few vintage primes that still give me more resolution than i know what to do with, and that whole collection would be outpriced by a single modern lens.
Having worked at shitty organizations, it is possible that front line workers care deeply about the product users but they’re not being heard by those who prioritize what should get done. Not saying that’s necessarily what’s happening at Atlassian; just want to point out the complexity of the situation.

What I found nice about FreshWorks is the leadership is aligned (or at least says they are) with that goal.
I rewrote and updated my personal project too!

Apart from that, I:

Worked out consistently

Moved out alone

Got a job in a promising industry (though I still don't like working)

Still doing quite bad in some areas I want to improve, like investing, be more organised, playing music, etc.

Got my friend's kindle but didn't read even a fraction of what I've read in 2020

Overall, I'm progressing, albeit slowly.

> The Customer's contact questioned the notice period being the same. He asked why they wouldn't opt for annual commitment, get the discounted rate, and also have the 30 day notice period. My partner, who had worked with Japanese firms in the past, responded: "We know you wouldn't choose the annual option if your intention was not to work with us for at least a year." The Customer agreed and we ended up getting the gig on an annual basis.

That's a really cute answer by your partner, I like it a lot, even ignoring that it manages to save face while paying serious respect to the purported customer.
ah yes! sorry I did mean 'they'. Apologies for that.

That sounds pretty interesting, but sounds like there are some legal things that need to be considered. I'll look into it.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I'm no doctor but I think it totally stands to reason. Hives are a result of inflammation which is caused by (among other things) an immune system response which is what you want a vaccine to do.
I use my Swiss army knife regularly, as alluded to elsewhere in this thread. It has supplanted a few other tools in an effort to minimise the amount of crap I have. The one I own is 20 years older than me and is a hand me down from my father. One of the most useful things I own.

As for opening cans, I use it for that after the last can opener I had fell to bits about a decade ago. Takes a bit of practice but you can chunk through a can in about 10 seconds reliably. It also opens cans that the can openers won't grip properly.

I've used it to build a couple of PCs with as well as the only tool.

As for not drinking, most of the wine I get gifted goes into a pot and is used for cooking. I'll only drink it if there's someone interesting to drink it with, which is sadly not happening that often these days.
It's easier to train your non-dominant hand to mouse than to write.

It's awkward initially, but for most people takes only a few days to be comfortable with it. Then they switch back and forth easily (I do it several times a day).

As an analogy, a lot of people (including me) started writing on a keyboard with only one hand (or at least hitting most buttons with one hand). We had to train our brains to use both. That was a lot more challenging than learning to mouse with the other hand.
Don't Look Up was fantastic. I don't think there's another movie that more accurately portrays the absurdity of modern society.
This is Japan. If someone finds an item on the street it will be dropped off at the nearest Kōban box (small police station that are everywhere). I lost a pair of sunglasses once that were $$ that I cared about them. I had a rough idea of were I lost them. The next day I went to the local Kōban and sure enough they had them. Lots paperwork to get them back as it is Japan.

The question is if/to what extent does the booster prevent transmission of Omicron. We already know its transmissibility is significant greater than prior variants. If the effect on transmissibility is small, this argument would not hold much weight.

There seems to be little relationship between percentage vaccinated and case-counts. Open to being proven wrong on this.

E.g. given total new cases today, California (30k new cases) has a higher number of cases per capita, vs Texas (15.5k), despite CA having 10% higher vaccination rate. Granted there are other variables at play, but its hard to make the case that vaccination has a large impact on transmission, currently.

if my experience is anything to go by, it was probably on a piece of paper that you had to acknowledge that you read before the vaccine was administered.
This is a dumb policy. Covid presents essentially no risk to young people. We also now know that the risk of myocarditis to young men from vaccination exceeds the risk of same from the virus itself:

https://vinayprasadmdmph.substack.com/p/uk-now-reports-myoca...

Moreover, additional vaccination offers minimal -- if any -- benefit to young, healthy people. As Paul Offit -- a pediatrician, creator of the Rotavirus vaccine, member of the CDC ACIP committee and one of the biggest SARS-CoV2 vaccine advocates -- said in a recent NY Times article:

> Boosters are likely to provide the best protection against infection with Omicron. But for most healthy young people, the original two-shot series — or one dose of Johnson and Johnson — should be sufficient to prevent hospitalization and death, Dr. Offit said. If that’s the purpose of vaccination, then “these vaccines continue to hold up,” Dr. Offit said.

https://archive.fo/b3raO

Meanwhile, the WHO continues to beg western countries to stop boosting younger, healthy people. Nobody listens.

> The focus of COVID-19 immunization efforts must remain on decreasing death and severe disease, and the protection of the health care system....In the context of ongoing global vaccine supply constraints and inequities, broad-based administration of booster doses risks exacerbating vaccine access by driving up demand in countries with substantial vaccine coverage and diverting supply while priority populations in some countries, or in subnational settings, have not yet received a primary vaccination series.

https://www.who.int/news/item/22-12-2021-interim-statement-o...

This push for repeated vaccination of the young is based on antibody titers and other "correlates of risk", not on clinical data. But antibody levels decline over time -- particularly in the nasal mucosa. It's basic immunology, and a principal reason that vaccines against respiratory viruses were rare prior to Covid.

We're quite literally conducting a societal experiment based on fear and speculation, while "experts" forget what they learned in biology 101.

India also has this kind of stupid vague law that makes ethical hacking partly illegal:

> The contention is over Clause 7 of the Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure and Coordination Policy, released by CERT-In on September 3. According to the clause, the reporting party must “comply with all the extant laws” like the IT Act, Section 43, which bars unauthorised access to systems. while Section 66 prescribes the corresponding punishment (jail and/or fine).

> “Independent security experts may gain unauthorised access to a network when probing a system but they do so to study the vulnerabilities. So while their intent is not malicious, it could be seen as wrong under the IT Act, which is what this policy reinstates,” explains Rohin Garg of Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF), a New Delhi NGO that works to defend digital rights.

TBH, my first reaction to this comment was "somebody's wrong on the Internet". But luckily, reflection won over reaction, and gave me enough pause to realize what's really happening.

I have no idea where this notion of "shunning the mouse" came from. The simple fact is that when you're "in the zone", the mouse gets in the way. After having read and re-read other peoples code, and occasionally also having read half a dozen research papers, you are finally ready to dump all the code that has been brewing in your head. At that point, you are a typist. All the for-loops and switch-cases and function calls are jostling around in your head, and you want to serialize them into source code as fast as you can. When you're doing that, forget the mouse even the arrow keys are too far away. All you want is "do what I mean" with "the thing at point". Everything else just disappears outside your region of focus.

So yeah, the mouse is awesome when you're browsing and reading code. But when you're typing code, the home row is the fastest way to get it all out.

Protection is not super relevant for young students who are not at risk. It also seems unlikely that the booster will slow down the spread all that much if even two doses of the vaccine have low efficacy.
Size:

I have a Nikon Z6ii. It's pretty compact. With a Z 28mm f2.8 it's no problem carrying it around wherever you go.

Computational: I have no idea. But as an """"advanced""" amateur photographer I don't really want computational photography in my gear. That's for the quick snapshot with your mobile phone imho.

I guess that if they leave them lying around that it is likely there are more.
I don't know if it's a travesty, but the website is generally looked down upon by most photographers. The goal seems to be volume of content rather than anything useful, or in many cases, even accurate.
Hives is listed as a side effect for the vaccines. I never had it before and got hives a week after my booster shot. Although I'm not 100% certain, I believe there is a very high likelihood the booster caused it. Apparently many on Reddit experienced the same thing if you search for hives in the COVID subreddits. My friend got hives after her second shot and still needs to use Benadryl after 6 months.
That would seem reasonable, except we are not talking about opportunity cost. We are talking about actual financial burden comparison.

I can educate both my children to a higher standard in a far more personalized education form for less than $5,000 per child per year in actual financial cost. This includes progressive curriculum materials, paid external learning opportunities (things like park/nature center passes, museums, group activities, etc.), travel costs (yes, we actually do a far amount of local and some longer travel in the course of their school year for education purposes), and school supplies.

Opportunity cost tends to be more subjective and harder to realize because the success of opportunity is hard to predict. Does that mean I live in a single-income household? Yes, but my spouse and I chose this because we wanted to give our children as good an opportunity to succeed as we can and this was the way we were determined to do it. My spouse is actually has a higher education level than I do but chose to stay home and do this for our children. My spouse doesn't see this as the loss of opportunity but the gain of ability to spend more time with our children helping them learn and grow into compassionate, driven, and hard-working individuals. The fact that we can do so for less actual cost than the public or private school systems is just a bonus.

(I do realize this is anecdotal, but it is the best source I have right now and other homeschool parents in my area say much the same regardless of ethnic or economic background.)
This would be awesome as a blog post if you ever want to go into detail on how you executed each step.

That hasn't been the case in JS for almost a decade.

parseInt('0700') returns 700. But parseInt('0x700') will be parsed as octal, so now it's just a more subtle gotcha.

Loose parsers (such as parseInt(), and Date.parse() in JS) are one of the worst ideas ever. Nothing like tracing a bug, and finding that a junior dev is trying to parse DD/MM/YYYY strings using Date.parse(), except that instead of throwing on trying to parse an incorrect [non-RFC] format, the parser makes a best-guess and propagates an incorrect date because it was parsed as MM/DD/YYYY.

Which would suck for left handed people.
But...doesn't covid infection entail all kinds of other potential risks aside from myocarditis? Looking only at one particular risk--which is extraordinarily rare for both covid and vaccine subjects--and ignoring the risk the vaccine protects against seems...like bad analysis?
Because most original API (DOM, browser, date, etc) are OO oriented and you stick your standard library in one pattern.

And speaking of everyone moving to functional programming: i work with several hundred developers in four continents in a very dynamic envirnment.... And I have not seen a FP advocate. Not that FP is not good (I prefer it where applicable) but mindset/winning/moving towards are words I would not choose when it comes to describing the state of FP and OO in the world. There is a strong influence but not to a degree where an established language changes its core paradigm: see Java, C#, JS, ...

> Will you elaborate on why it’s a travesty? Genuinely curious as a newer photographer still discovering the best online resources.

Rockwell is rather opinionated, and that rubs some people (including me) the wrong way. As a nascent photographer, I found his page and he convinced me to get a Nikon D40 with a rather breathless review compared to the outmoded D50.

In retrospect, the D50 would've served me better since the existing AF-D lenses were less expensive than AF-S counterparts and a better deal for someone who didn't know what he was doing...and they could, you know, auto-focus if you had a screw drive. But AF-S lenses were the future and you shouldn't get AF-Ds for your DX camera because that's dumb, just get the 35mm f/1.8 DX instead...

But I owe him a bit of a debt of gratitude, too. When I was gifted the 50mm AF-D and it didn't autofocus on the D40, I learned the joy of manual focus photography. I picked up a 24mm f/2.8 non-AI for a song a year or so later and have really enjoyed them ever since. (In fact, I upgraded to the D7000 so as to meter with AI/AI-S lenses.)

I do not take any pictures anyone else couldn't take, but there is something that I enjoy about sensing the process differently: zooming with my feet, the robust engineering of the all-metal lenses, the occasionally dreamy quality of being out of focus. It doesn't come with the chemistry of film or the tactile feel of working with negatives, but it's better for me than an all-auto process.
