> For loops are a bit strange too - you write for (items) |item| {}, which means you specify the container before the per-element variable. Mentally I think of for as for something in many_things {} and so in Zig I constantly had to write it wrong and then rewrite. Also you use the | character in Zig quite a lot, and while this may just be a problem with Apple UK keyboards, actually getting to the | character on my laptop was uncomfortable. When doing C/C++ or Rust, you use the | character much less and so the pain of writing the character was something I never noticed before. Jonathan Blow has gone on the record to say that with his language, Jai, he spent a lot of time working out how easy it would be to type common things, such that the more common an operation in the language, the easier it would be to type.

I've written much more "Jai" than Zig but this is one of the things that stuck out to me the most in Zig's syntax as being strange. in "Jai", for loops iterate over arrays, ranges (0..10), or anything else that has a for_expansion defined for it. implicitly, "it" is the iterator and "it_index" is the index. to for-loop over an array, you simply write

foos: [..] int;
for foos { /*...*/ }

if you don't want to use it and it_index, likely because you're nesting loops, you write

for foo: foos { }
for foo, foo_index: foos { }

this has some very nice properties in addition to relative terseness: when you want to iterate over something, which is something you do all the time in all kinds of contexts, you just write "for foos do_something_to_foo(it);" suddenly you find you need to use something other than the implicit it/it_index, so you just change it to "for foo: foos do_something_to_foo(foo);" maybe when you're "sketching out" your program code, "foos" is just an array of ints, but as you flesh things out further, you realize you want it to be a custom data structure with additional information that can nonetheless be iterated over as if it were still an array. you simply write a for_expansion for the new data structure:

Foo_Storage :: struct {
items: [..] int;
additional_info: string;
}
for_expansion :: (using storage: *Foo_Storage, body: Code, flags: For_Flags) #expand {
for `it, `it_index: items {
#insert body;
}
}
foos: Foo_Storage;
for foos { /*...*/ } // the loop interface remains unchanged

I completely agree with the author here in that I appreciate this approach as opposed to Zig's, with regards to making it as easy as possible to write basic constructs ("loop over some stuff") that you're going to be writing a lot, in a lot of different places, in a lot of different contexts, all the time, constantly. this is the one area in which this language and the design ethos behind it is completely different from Zig and other contemporaries—it balances power and simplicity with developer ergonomics quite nicely.
I'm not Christian, so I normally volunteer the end of year shift. It seems to mean a lot to those who really celebrate it.

It's nice to live somewhere diverse, where anyone can take off for the holidays that matter to them. I had a colleague return to India for a month for Diwali. Eid and Chinese New Year are popular slow periods too.
They don't need to move there to spread risk, just move through, and as such tourism is one factor.

Early in the pandemic, I had an assignment to photograph in a particular area that was actively dissuading visitors, had signage up as such, etc. I had to stop to refuel the car, but that was the extent of my contact with people and interiors otherwise.

I live in a state that had closed borders for most of the pandemic until recently (when our adult vax rate hit 80%). They're now open and cases are predictably rising. Opening the borders seems to have had a political backlash because while families can move in/out of the state, the rising cases has brought about business lockdowns but without the support/stimulus from last year.
We've literally never run out of hospital space before, including the 2020 winter surge of COVID19/Alpha (which hit us harder than Delta did).

This Omicron is worse than anything we've seen before locally. Crisis levels / Emergency levels of hospitalization have been reached.

Yeah, we've had a nursing crisis and our health care system is shoddier than many people realize. But Omicron is clearly different.
That is not the case. The code within that block will not be in the namespace if that file is imported. Contrary to your example which will have the main function in the module namespace.
> part of a dangerous narrative that puts the wants of individuals as more important than the needs of a society.

This is part of a dangerous narrative that grants ownership of self to the state, rather than the individual.
So there are 9 times as many vaccinated people and 3 times fewer hospitalizations, that would be 1-1/27 efficacy (96% or so). Sounds like it's no worse, or possibly even better, than what was measured in the trials
You're 100% right. It looks like output from a tracing disassembler but it didn't account for the preamble so it quickly gets pear shaped.

If you download the binary and hex dump it, it's a PRG file which contains a 2-byte header ($0801, the load address), followed by a short basic program (816 SYS 2061) followed by the actual code at 2061 ($080d). The actual code starts with LDA $01 but the address is off by 2 bytes (due to the PRG header) so the JSR subroutines are off as well.

I'm actually agreeing with you at this, but how should this regulation look?

Also, I believe there are a number of non-porn sexual education resources, which should stay available.

However, note that the current crackdown on porn isn't about underage consumers, it's about consumption in general. Apple isn't asking for age verification, they are banning adult content completely.

OP said Apple's stance is reasonable and Apple is pretty close to saying "ban all porn".
Wrapping is more sensible than negative indices.
Right, but didn't want to go into that much detail.
I would like to found some kind of cult with myself as the Dear Leader that everyone adores and sends lots of cash to, but I don't seem to have rolled that high a number in terms of charisma.
Yes, it's a two-sided market like estate agents (realtors) and used car salespeople. But without enough turnover to do statistical satisfaction management like Uber. And the dating company problem that satisfied customers don't come back.

Most of them are just trying to churn you through the sales process quickly; some are outright scammers (if you've not had to blacklist a recruitment firm you've probably not done much hiring); and a very few are absolutely gold who will matchmake better than automated systems. Those people deserve positive word-of-mouth.
I would add LG CX/C1 48 inch. The lowest price has come down to 1000 usd + tax around recent month. It has all the features and packs a top tier oled panel.
Welcome to frameworkless PHP where code & user files are stored in the same root and any PHP file requested by a web client is executed by the server.

In most proper frameworks, including PHP ones, the only thing responding to web requests is an entrypoint file (that gets passed the request metadata including URL) and the framework takes it from there. This means that with proper configuration, even requesting a malicious PHP file shouldn't actually execute it and instead hit the framework which will promptly respond with a 404 (of course, with PHP the danger is that in case of misconfiguration the server may still prioritize an exact path match and execute the file rather than defaulting to executing the framework's entrypoint, where as other languages typically don't rely on the webserver to execute the files and couldn't run a malicious file even if they tried).

But these stupid legacy applications are still around and haven't been updated to fix this design flaw, so any flaw in sanitizing uploaded files turns into a persistent RCE. I'm sure some people will pitch in and say this isn't a design flaw and you're using it wrong, and while I agree that it can probably be made secure with enough effort, why leave such a loaded footgun around when this is essentially a solved problem in all other languages?

In other languages a malicious file being uploaded to the web root will at best result in a stored XSS which can be further mitigated by having your file uploads on a separate domain, but in PHP it's fatal.
Holy moly!!!

Were you using LastPass around 2017? One theory that's floating is that we were all owned by a compromised LastPass extension 4-5 years ago.

Just trying to find some common thread among all of us (a thread that's different than "lastpass was owned" which presumably should be more improbable...)
20 millions people worldwide are estimated to be dead so far in 2 years of this virus pandemic.

It's time to call out the minimizers and downplayers on their horseshit.
The 5K monitor model number and presumably the actual monitor has been updated a couple of times. Any chance the most recently updated design actually has corrected those issues?
> Again, where did you learn this?

Comprehension of the words in the amendment. It's what it means.
Maybe,

but man I'm soo feed up with services requiring SMS at least for setup often as a non-disabelable fallback. It's not secure! (And worse sometimes allowing password resets using the 2nd factor.)

I understand that there is a usability issue for a non-resetable 2nd factor (due to people losing reset 2nd factor), but pls. give me and "advanced I know what I'm doing" option or similar.
> I didn't know prisoners could left Nazi Germany just like that, only getting a scan.

The prisoners in the Xinjiang labor camps sure can't leave. You're making a false comparison, intentionally or not.
Fortunately it’s an idempotent operation. I think.
I have two. One has a bad burnin problem. It takes 30min to set and the rest of the day I see that original image. The other has a weird color wave.

I used to buy an iMac 27 so I could have a great first screen. I’d like to go back or have an apple monitor again.
Sincere question. How did you make the leap from the vastness of the universe to nothing? I have sensed the nothing but not in this way. How did it happen for you?
Thank Apple for fucking up the term Retina Display. It used to mean something very specific until the marketing department at Apple overheard it. Same happened earlier to "real time".
"CF treatment centers were hotbeds for transmission" wasn't clickbaity enough.
You are joking right? If not, I'd kill for a video of this setup working.
> Florida's 300% rise in cases this past week has demonstrated that natural-immunity from Alpha/Delta was completely worthless vs Omicron. Florida is well on its way to having a worse surge than it ever had before. It doesn't seem like we can natural-immunity our ways out of this.

Tangential, but has Florida started accurately reporting their cases, hospitalizations and deaths instead of under-reporting them?
huh, let me add that to the list of very annoying things that can be done without javascript (it was already on the with javascript list).
in Mexico, and perhaps repeated elsewhere in the world, the dominance of Coca-cola can be traced directly to their policy of providing a free, serviced, high quality refrigerated unit to tens of thousands of tiny mom-n-pop storefronts on the condition that they are kept stocked and in a prominent position in the shop. In many of these shops today, and in all of them back in the 70's and 80's, it is/was the only refrigerated storage in the shop, and sometimes (rarely nowadays) the only source of chilled anything in an entire village.
I think when the dust settles, we'll conclude that Omicron for the vaccinated posed very similar risks as the flu. Keyword of course is for the vaccinated. SF is seeing the highest case counts at any point in the pandemic and yet there is no real change in hospitalizations/deaths.

Anecdotally, I've attended two mega indoor concerts in the past couple of months. It is almost impossible that I haven't been exposed to or contracted COVID.
No. This reads to me like oil envy.
There are plenty of other infectious diseases that aren't eradicated but that most people never get. Why that dichotomy for this one?
People were frustrated and arguably so. I agree with targeted lockdowns or even draconian lockdowns (if it would stop the pandemic on its heels). But it’s going to frustrate people. Social psychology would say such pent up frustration has to be released somewhere and we saw that in the rise in domestic violence, car accidents and crime. (I’m not trying to justify it. It’s the way it is. Next time we have a pandemic may be we’ll also factor in these indirect variables in decide the scope and duration).
Well if you think any loan with interest is unacceptable then I don't think there's any way to solve this.

If you want it to be easy to get the loan payments reduced or even cancelled when you're having money problems, then you need to make a profit off the people that do have plenty of money. And isn't that even better than returning what you got?

> Loans backed by people's ability to earn income are a form of slavery, and earning interest off this is not licit.

To my mind, the whole point of the minimum threshold for the type of loan I'm describing is so it can't be slavery. If you don't have lots of money, the debt just disappears. If you're wealthy... then you're wealthy, not a debt slave.
They were used for interviews for maths and CS, so I think it’s quite likely the candidates would have seen similar puzzles before, but I think that misses the point. This sort of puzzle is there so that the students can either present and an answer and the interviewer can start to dig into it with more questions, or so that the candidate doesn’t come up with an answer immediately and the interviewer can ask other questions that will help them reason things out.

The object is generally to explore how a candidate thinks. If it turns out they memorised logic puzzles and can’t explain them then they will not get through the interview.
I've just watched a few of his vids he links to on his site, very interesting. I just read https://www.bernardokastrup.com/2016/04/conquering-fear-of-o... so well put. I'll read Rationalist Spirituality. Thanks again. Fascinating.
Apparently it's neither intended nor used as an "impossible/trivial" problem:

The interviews were an in-depth back-and-forth discussion, as much as could be had in about 25 minutes. These interviews, of course, are just one component among many in regard to the difficult admissions decision, a chance for the candidate to show us how they think through a problem, how well they can explain their ideas, how well they take hints and suggestions. In every interview, we had paused at a certain stage, when the candidate had a fully formed argument for one of the variations, and asked them to undertake an integrative exercise, summarizing as clearly as they could the entire problem and solution and how they expected it to play out. Since these were interviews for joint philosophy degrees, in my view this step was a key part of the interview, measuring the ability of the candidate to integrate what they had learned from the discussion and to present a complete, coherent argument.
For what its worth, I took this as an attack on the idea and the parent themselves as a person.
Are people who say this unaware of annual flu vaccines?

To compare, we're still by some measures 103 years into the Spanish flu pandemic [1].

> Keyword of course is for the vaccinated. SF is seeing the highest case counts at any point in the pandemic and yet there is no real change in hospitalizations/deaths.

It took about a week or two between our Omicron-surge before our hospitals filled up around here. COVID19 is a slow-moving disease, give it some time and prepare.
No. Phone calls are more personal than emails. Some people like that.

For everyone complaining here about getting phone calls, there is another half who'd jibe "Damn, another templatized email. Why should I be interested if you haven't put any time of yours into communicating with me??"

TL;DR: programers are hard to please. No good deed goes unpunished.
I suppose this could be called the "semi-analog hole". I'd probably analyse the app first because these protections are usually quite trivial. I remember one a long time ago (PC-based), which was basically a PDF "encrypted" using a short XOR key and appended to the end of the executable.
Pharma companies realized the money is in subscriptions. Like Adobe, why offer Photoshop for a one time sale when they can go the SaaS model and get the juicy recurring revenue.

Vaccine as a service…
That’s basically a small TV - it’s nowhere near retina, and 4k is barely acceptable at 1/4 that size.
FTA: We had used these puzzles in our admissions interviews of candidates for a place at Oxford University in the degree courses Math/philosophy, CS/philosophy, and PPE at University College, Oxford

I’m not familiar with the term “degree course”, but suspect the candidates were bright, but also around 18 years old.

The C64 has 64 kB of RAM. That is more than many contemporary microcontrollers. Using something like https://github.com/emlearn/emlearn allows to generate portable C code of ML models for such targets. Should be able to classify digits (MNIST) no problem on such hardware. Assuming there is a workable C compiler available.

there are 360Hz monitors, now, and they are likely to sell well as soon as the silicon shortage eases, if they aren't already.

the real problem is that a 1080p monitor at 360Hz requires six times the bandwidth of a standard 1080p60 monitor, while a 120Hz 4k UHD monitor requires eight times the bandwidth of a 1080p60 monitor.

it's easier to reach the FPS targets incrementally than it is to reach the resolution targets in larger jumps.
You can either use root access or disassemble the app, remove the flag, and then assemble it again. Impossible to do if the app uses SafetyNet though.

Similar story as you, promoted LastPass when it first started because it worked and was the obvious choice. About 3 years ago I finally switched to BitWarden after realizing Lastpass was never going to fix their terrible UI. A few months ago I switched to 1Password though and am very happy. It has a few nice QOL improvements over BitWarden IMO, though BitWarden was leagues better than LastPass at least.

This post prompted me to go in and clean out/delete my old LastPass account though!
> Tangential, but has Florida started accurately reporting their cases, hospitalizations and deaths instead of under-reporting them?

Doesn't matter IMO. What matters is the change-in-percent. If Florida's "undercount" is 300% higher this week than last week, that's all the evidence we need, as long as the "undercount" remained consistent.

The exact number isn't important. Its the change in numbers we can look at and rely upon. If you don't trust the numbers, you can still trust the change-in-numbers.

Its not important to get exact numbers. Its more important to remain consistent in your reporting through these crisis. We care about apples-to-apples comparisons within the state, not against different states. A 300% rise is a 300% rise.
Early on in the pandemic when roads were fairly empty, the local cops operating the speed traps wouldn't pull anyone over -- they'd just stand on the side of the road waving at you and making 'slow down' hand signals. Glorious indeed...
It seems that the CDC's logic is that reducing the quarantine will encourage people 1) to get tested, since 5 days of quarantine isn't as bad as 10 days and 2) to actually quarantine if they are exposed or positive. But no one is going to wear a mask for those 5 days after quarantine. You're either contagious or you're not. If you and/or others believe you're contagious, you're going to isolate. If you don't believe it, you're not going to wear a mask. No one is going to go around saying "yeah, I might still have COVID so I thought I'll still hang out with you, but I'll just wear a mask". Yeah right.

And sadly, the CDC don't appear to be offering any advice or information about how long one is actually contagious, which is the information people really need to make safe and responsible decisons. Nor do they appear to be encouraging more rapid at home testing, which is really what needs to happen to start managing this virus. I spent the entire day today calling around for any kind of rapid tests anywhere in Ohio after someone from our Christmas Eve gathering fell sick. They're sold out everywhere. Was finally able to get some tests when a shipment came in to the county health department, but they were gone in a couple of hours.

Meanwhile, I think Joe Biden is asleep. Why doesn't he issue an executive order and/or activate the Defense Production Act to get rapid tests to Americans now? He's had plenty of time to prepare.
These are probably admissions for high schoolers.
The 95%+ vaccinations rates (12+) in the three major cities and 92% overall (also 12+) would somewhat help. Along with the fact community spread is already present and has been for a few months, the measures in place have kept uncontrolled spread in check.

NZ keeps new introductions to a minimum to ensure that contact tracing is not overwhelmed and this adds to the effective decrease in reproduction offered by vaccinations. New Zealand being a season behind also allows the Northern hemisphere to burn through a wave and NZ can then decide when to lift international arrival restrictions to a time when the incidence levels are low from common arrival locales (UK, US etc).
I agree with this. I think that would be a measure of the direct impact and as long as it also factors in all types of medical deaths. I personally know people who died waiting for a hospital bed for completely unrelated stuff.
I find that bigger than 32" at desktop distances is uncomfortable at best, unfortunately. 27" is definitely the sweet spot for me.
Being a small niche really not mutually exclusive with the eSports community, unless you extend the eSports community to everyone who has ever played LoL or CS:GO. I think more people max out settings on those games than minimise them for the extra FPS still.
(That you were trying to add and not correct was extremely unclear, FWIW.)
1. Finish your MD, having that alone will open doors for you. 3rd year sucks but 4th isn’t hard, it’s a 1 year moat/time suck. Just finish.

2. Don’t shit the bed on your STEP 2 - Keep your doors open.

3. Consider doing 1 year of prelim in medicine or surgery if you don’t want to do a full residency. With 1 year of experience you’ll likely find out a lot of problems in healthcare that have tech solutions. Right now as a MS you don’t really know the problems and can’t create something to solve them. And a 1 year prelim allows you to work in emergency clinics as an MD if money gets tight in your other career.

„Imagine the stakes are very high—perhaps life and death.“

The only acceptable solution for perfectly rational players in the case of „death“ as possible down side while only having „live“ as a potential upside would be to extend the game indefinitely by telling the co-player that you will never agree on a different strategy than infinite play - all possible rewards, zero downside risk!
