So your one anecdote outweighs all our other European anecdotes saying the opposite?

I have had excellent service here in Norway and even in these times of COVID I have not had to wait unreasonably long for appointments for things like MRI and my GP seems to have less to do now than in normal times, far fewer respiratory conditions to deal with.

As with any other large system there will be some variation in quality and availability even within the same country as my wife discovered giving birth in two different hospitals in the UK, one merely good enough, the other excellent.
Rust's errors are definitely the best of any language I've used. That's one reason it's nice to write Rust after a day fighting with SQL Server for example which seems to still think in 2021 that "Syntax error" is a reasonable diagnostic message.

As to "How to fix it" however if you have lifetime confusion the error reported by the borrow checker probably isn't going to suggest refactoring your code with a design that makes sense even though that's likely the correct solution. It would be cute if the Rust compiler said "I think you want a Boxed collection of strings here to use the algorithm you're attempting, change how this is represented in all the related structs too, here's how:" but that's unrealistic and, more importantly, no other language is doing a better job here.

While Rust makes the errors themselves look easy, the right suggestion is context sensitive anyway. In my AoC solutions, unwrap() was the correct answer anywhere the problem is "I have an Option or a Result and I wish that I didn't". Because it's AoC if I'm wrong to be so cavalier I will eat a panic immediately, and I don't plan to maintain this stuff. In a real project I probably want to explicitly handle None and Error in some places, and pass on Errors in other places, even when I don't I should write an expect() in case I'm maintaining this years from now.

More likely in lifetime confusion scenarios the equivalent C++ compiles but just has mysterious crashes or bugs and the equivalent Java has runtime Null reference errors, Concurrency errors, a truly enormous memory leak, data races, other mysterious mutation bugs, or all of the above. I'll take a compile time error from the borrow checker thanks.
This reminds me of my own usage of Google Translate's speech synthesis API in a chat bot way back. It was as easy as sending a GET request to https://translate.google.com/translate_tts. People loved it.

Of course, my use case was neither commercial nor large scale.

It hurt my credit score(as in the number quite a bit), but not as much as I thought it would, I was really worried I wouldn’t get approved for things, but I was informed that when underwriters are reviewing credit reports, medical debt doesn’t carry much weight, as ‘everyone’ has it and it doesn’t reflect on how responsible or impulsive the debtor is.
FTA: "Highlights

• Bulk of COVID-19 per capita deaths occur in elderly with high comorbidities.

• Per capita COVID-19 deaths are negligible in children.

• Clinical trials for these inoculations were very short-term.

• Clinical trials did not address long-term effects most relevant to children.

• High post-inoculation deaths reported in VAERS (very short-term)."
You are correct, they are more sensitive here. They also kill you even if a guard is already impaled on them, which they did not in the original.

I am more shocked that you are not concerned that image manipulation technology could (and likely already has) been used to send an innocent person who can not afford the use of an expert to challenge the image to jail

Evidence presented in court should reflect exactly what happen, a true and accurate representation. Not what some ML algorithm believes happened. This is especially true in a criminal cast where a persons freedom is at stake, and often the captured criminality is not the focus of the image but rather something in the background making the ML processing even less reliable, and would allow for more interpretation by the viewer.

I am a firm believer that is better for 100 guilty to go free than it is for 1 innocents to falsely convicted, sad that many do not share that world view any more

One element I never see discussed is even if the vaccine had no side effects for children, since there is a limited supply of vaccines, inoculating a child in the USA means someone (probably older, less healthy) somewhere else is not getting it. It's totally understandable for US politicians to value the life of a US resident higher than that in another country, but we should discuss how much more valuable that life is.

To read your sarcasm I'd have to know whether you have in fact gotten surgery by a more experienced doctor. It just depends on so many things. First, you can't be a surgeon for that long, you start losing your "pulso" like stillness of hand at around 50. Then there's the vibe the old doctor and the young doctor give you.

You must use your judgment to interpret it, but let me tell you a trope: the old doctor, sure, he's done this thousands of times, so it's no big deal for him. But he might be complacent, and plus he's been a surgeon for decades, these guys get worshipped by the rest of the hospital, it typically gets to their head. He might have long ago lost sight of needing to help people who lost sight, if he's not a virtuous guy he'll hustle you, 100%. And if he fucks up? 1 divided by 2000 is what percentage error rate, .05%? Assuming it's never happened before.

Whereas the young doctor is probably hungry for his first paycheck after a decade of getting into debt and memorizing stuff, his big chance to stop getting hazed, this won't be his first time really, he'll want to do an amazing job. He has no track record so if he screws up, it won't be automatic to get a second chance, it's high stakes, and he'll have that error hanging over him. He might be nervous though, so you have to keep that in mind. But much better hands, and he'll actually perform the surgery according to the original definition of "perfection" : he'll carry it out all the way through. Won't skip steps to save himself a couple of minutes at the expense of weeks of pain. He doesn't yet know what parts of the surgery he can get away with not doing, he just does the whole thing.

On the other hand, if the old doctor is humble and the young doctor is arrogant, it could be the other way around. You need to judge the vibe.

Working in adtech was interesting for me because I learned how to work with distributed systems, thought me the importance of optimizing, scaling, instrumentation etc. It's extremely satisfying shaving a ms or two in response times in an app when you have 15 ms in total to respond.

I built for example a data pipeline that ingests Bluekai/Oracle data cloud data and from a big data perspective it's an amazing experience: from dealing with ingesting billions of records per day to making sure you can build audiences based on those records in near real time.

From a privacy perspective it's very scary stuff. When you look at what data Bluekai has, there are hundreds of millions of profiles scattered around hundreds of thousands of segments. Basically you have segments from frozen food shoppers to people that bought a mercedes a class model 2020.

P.S.I can say also the same thing about Google, FB etc. A lot of people that work there are basically working in adtech, especially in Google.

There comes a point where your credit score isn’t useful anymore. If you have a good house with a good mortgage and the best credit cards and have taken any other long term loans you need, then you’ve reached the end game. After that point maintaining a high score is just for bragging rights. It makes no sense to pay a massive hospital bill the rest of your life instead of just letting it fall off your credit reports in 7 years.

Or... ls could just escape filenames.

I'm not sure why it seemingly doesn't in the year 2021.
A: Because children pass COVID-19 on to older people who are highly likely to die.

It's like saying "Why fight forest fires? Very few people live in the forests." Because the fire will grow and burn down all the cities.

And also: because we can do both. All the elderly people (that are willing to take the safe and effective vaccine) are vaccinated. We have plenty of vaccines leftover. This isn't a matter of picking who gets it and who doesn't.
The West has gone through widespread deindustrialization in the past 50 years, that was the biggest reason for localized decreased emissions (i.e. they were simply moved offshore).

Perfect vaccine distribution across the entire world isn’t realistic.

Perfect is the enemy of good when it comes to vaccine distribution. We could waste months or years trying to get all of the vaccines to the “right” people first, or we could start vaccinating as many people as possible in whatever order makes it fastest. The latter option produces significantly better outcomes compared to waiting to try to distribute it globally according to some specific order.
I have a bash alias that creates a random playlist of videos or music with ls. I noticed that sometimes there were duplicates in the list.

You'd be willing to pay more for the oxygen than the computer (its value is very high) but the price is low (it's free).

And in the same line of thinking that vaccination is a world the more the virus spreads through people that cannot fight it (naturally or via vaccines) the more the change of mutations apearing and spreading.

"The VACUUM command with an INTO clause is an alternative to the backup API for generating backup copies of a live database. The advantage of using VACUUM INTO is that the resulting backup database is minimal in size and hence the amount of filesystem I/O may be reduced. Also, all deleted content is purged from the backup, leaving behind no forensic traces. On the other hand, the backup API uses fewer CPU cycles and can be executed incrementally."

Well, that's comforting to some degree. Of course, your recount is as anecdotal as mine, and unfortunately my experience (or at least, the parts of it that confirmation bias pushes into the forefront of my recollection) has been that of more enthusiasm for crystals, homeopathy, chakras, auras, tarot cards, and other mystical bullshit. The people I'm thinking of like to believe they are against the use of animal products, while at the same time using animal products through selective oblivion. It's a bit like former PETA VP Mary Beth Sweetland not considering herself a hypocrite for condemning the use of animal products in medicine despite using animal products to treat her diabetes.

It misses the point of why PC's were adopted, which was spreadsheets. No-one put a PC on your desk because you needed a PC. They put a PC on your desk because you suddenly needed to be able to use a spreadsheet to do your job [0].

And the reason we all got internet connections in the mid-90's wasn't Web0. It was email. Web0 was a toy thing that only us geeks played around with, that came free with your email account. All the "serious" stuff that we use the web for now was in the walled gardens (CompuServe or AOL).

Web3 needs a "killer app" like email or spreadsheets. Still not seeing one.

Why did shutters go away?

That's one of those damned good questions.

I have thoughts, but I'd really like to see some solid information on how prevalent they were, what their previous rationale was, and what accounts for their decline.

On contemporary houses, if shutters exist at all, they're all but entirely decorative. Frequently they're on the inside of a house.

In hurricane-prone regions, shutters seem as if they'd make more sense than repeatedly boarding-up and unboarding windows.

Note that in the case of wildfire, embers entering into attic and crawlspace areas is a larger threat than direct radiant-heat compromise of windows, though ignition of interior furnishings (especially curtains or blinds) by radiant heat does occur. Still, window and other structure penetration shutters seem as if they'd be a potentially useful addition.
Over here the main reason for vaccinating children is to reduce the infections carried over by children. Not necessarily to spare them from symptoms as most children will just have mild symptoms and less long covid. I’m not sure whether there actually have been intensive studies to long covid in children. They would also be impacted the longest and strongest so if that can be prevented with vaccinations without worse side effects that seems fine to me.

That would work, but historically this hasn't proven necessary and double encryption means double the CPU power (or more, if one of them has CPU extensions and the other encryption method does not). Doing group calls in Wire is already very taxing on nowadays' energy-efficient laptops or not-high-end phones.

For example, people have been using Russian GOST algorithms as a hedge against the USA stuff, but it's falling out of style because it just hasn't proven necessary in the decades since the AES and SHA families came into existence. Any bugs we found, for example in SHA-1, affected everyone equally and did not create a backdoor as with Dual-EC (in which flaws were identified before release and which went unaddressed, very much unlike other common algorithms).
> Per capita COVID-19 deaths are negligible in children

That is not going to make you feel any better if it is your kid who is one of these "negligible" deaths.

If there is anything you can do as a parent to reduce the risk to your kids, of course you are going to do it (especially if it is a no-brainer quick simple low-risk and cheap like a vaccination). Kids get all sorts of vaccinations and injections starting for their first few weeks of life (and even minutes - they get a vitamin K shot immediately after birth in the UK) , why should covid be any different?

Film development is very non linear in the exposure (call it z dimension), not in the dimension (x and y). That is to say it might exaggerate or diminish a gradient that was already there but not create one from nothing.

The grain is random size and randomly distributed which cancels out a lot of the effects of discritzation (eg you wont get patterns due nyquist sampling error).

It’s so strange to read these questions as if kids were living in isolation from adults.

Kids are in closer contact with each other and their parents than adults are with each other. It’s not even a close comparison. They may not get severe infections as often as adults, but ask any parent and they’ll let you know just how effective kids are at spreading infections.

It also feels deliberately disingenuous to bring up possible vaccine side effects without explaining that those same side effects occur with higher frequency and severity from the infection itself. It’s increasingly looking like exposure to Coronavirus is inevitable, so choosing the lower risk option of being vaccinated is obviously better than risking the worse side effects of the infection itself. Too many people are trying to treat this as a comparison between vaccinated or never being exposed to the virus ever, which is an increasingly unlikely possibility.

They don't really "know" a lot about you just because they have saved a lot of searches, they still need to understand what those searches mean.
