> Now, simple politically correct choice - stress or mRNA vaccines known for causing heart issues?

Huh? You assume the vaccines cause heart issues, and use as evidence for concluding that vaccines cause heart issues...? Did I misunderstand?

I don't really have an opinion here since I haven't looked at any of the data you're referencing.

Moreover, this is straying from my initial point, which was that opioid addiction is life-destroying on an scale far beyond what we have yet seen from vaccines, and it doesn't even require any careful study to see that since the effect size is so huge, with explicit societal harm in the form of drug trafficking, crime, and overdose deaths.

Getting paid in unregistered securities that I have to dump on some shady foreign exchange isn’t my definition of “derisked”.

People accepting this kind of payment for their services are hoping to cash out before the bubble pops and develop selective amnesia about their role in scamming retail investors with these boiler room tokens.

Ubuntu is the only distro where my Bluetooth headphones reliably connected and auto-switched to stereo audio (not headset) mode. It's gotten a lot better, though perhaps only with quality hardware.

As far as WiFi is concerned, I'm more likely than not to blame the crap connection on the access point. I've had great success replacing rubbish APs with something basic but good, but for work I want wires if at all reasonable.
Think it through longer term. Over the next couple years the odds that teachers and all the rest of us will be infected is approximately 100%. Where the exposure comes from is irrelevant. I am willing to face those odds, and to ask others to do the same.

Has your Apple auto-correct gone crazy?
Today I finally mentioned to a friend how auto-correct on my Apple devices has become frustratingly inaccurate over the past few days and he shared the same feeling. Then, my partner mentioned it tonight. Is everyone experiencing this? Examples include swapping correctly spelled words, auto-correcting to very strange words, and other unexpected behavior. Maybe it's me?

Omicron is more transmissible, so if most had been infected then, an ever higher proportion will have been infected now.

Well, I will certainly not be buying the new XPS haha. Although I wouldn't have done so anyway. I had a 2015 XPS 15 that had an absurd amount of issues. The charging port broke all the time, the casing would come apart, the hinge was completely busted, etc. After sending it in for repairs multiple times I ended up giving up on the thing.
This is going to sound dismissively cynical, but it all comes down to politics. The public school system is accountable to way more entities than the Catholic school is. Teachers Unions wield a tremendous amount of power and influence in local and state government. Actually taking on such a political machine would require an incredible amount of activism - bordering on replacing the majority of elected positions in your district. This is especially difficult because most of the lower positions are seats that the average person never thinks about or votes in. But, the unions make sure their members know about these positions and endeavor to get out the vote.

Most modern Japanese homes are not "western style" at all. They're usually built by large industrial concerns (e.g., Toyota, Sekisui, etc.) that prefabricate many components at scale. The process of building such a home in Japan begins with a company architect fitting their design system onto your lot. The price is fairly predictable, and relatively cheap—-under US$300K in most places. The home is designed with more or less the following priorities:
1. Safety
2. Ease of maintenance
3. Efficiency
4. Cost

And more recently, considerations for SDGs (sustainability goals) with respect to materials used.

Longevity is not a priority, as homes are expected to depreciate in value over roughly 20 years. There are many reasons for this, but my personal opinion is that industrialization has made it possible to upgrade the technology of the home at a pace and a price that favors rebuilding.

As for machiya and kominka, local governments like Kyoto have tried to intervene to preserve the traditional homes. The "no build" lots do not allow a property owner to build on anything other than the load-bearing structure for the old home. As a result, you have many empty lots and coin parking lots around Kyoto where the old home was unsalvageable or where the owner could not afford a renovation. To be honest, only tourists/foreigners would want to stay in a machiya for the novelty of it. Although they were marvelously engineered for their time, they tend to be rough living compared to the extremely easy and cheap prefab homes. There is also the problem of craftspeople who can maintain these old homes dying out, which adds to the cost of keeping them.

I don't think it's possible to attribute any of this to a general "Japanese" attitude, though. On the one hand, one of the most important and longest-lasting spiritual sites in Japan is Ise Jingu, which is rebuilt from scratch every 20 years as a Shinto ritual of renewal. On the other hand, you have some of the oldest and largest wooden structures in the world still standing in Nara.

As usual, it's complicated.

One example does not a trend make. And there was continuing de facto and de jure segregation both in the South and in non-Southern states until the Civil Rights Act
- in restaurants, bars, clubs, etc. And take, for example, exclusionary racial housing covenants, which continued to be written and were enforceable until then—even in California, where slavery was never legal. These covenants (like all covenants that run with the land) bound even non-signers to them; they were intended to be in place forever.

Claiming that if things were just left to their own devices, racial harmony and desegregation would eventually result is wishful thinking, and is supported neither by history nor the countless examples of ongoing racism throughout the world where relatively free markets exist and anti-segregation laws do not. Hatred and the ability to subjugate others is often a bigger motivating factor to people than money.

Bad premise. It is not all about benefit to the person being vaccinated even in a low imputed immunity scenario. The unvaccinated fill up and overwhelm healthcare systems. That disrupts all medical care for everyone. By being vaccinated you are reducing the burden for everybody.
Isn't this like 2 requests per second?

That's massively overpriced, with current prices you should fit into a 5 dollar budget.
I am not going to defend the Linux Desktop as there are many legitimate reasons to criticize it ( though the laptop I use the most does run Manjaro ). I must say though that suggesting the average Linux user has to compile their sound card drivers is pretty out of touch with even remotely recent Linux offerings. At this point, Linux is far more likely to support your hardware out of the box than either MacOS or Windows—-especially for older hardware. I am far more likely to be hunting around the web for Windows drivers or even totally unable to install Windows on my hardware than I am to have to do any hardware configuration at all on Linux. And I have considered putting Linux on a old iMac because Apple no longer supports the latest OS on it and this has started to become a compatibility hassle. In many ways, Linux requires less futzing around than the competition.

One area where I am dramatically wrong about this is with regards to high performance video drivers though that is improving. Even there though, a distro like Manjaro will likely work perfectly out of the box. To get performance a gamer wants might require a fair bit more knowledge but that said gamers tend to spend quite a bit of time managing and tuning things even on Windows.

> or being unvaccinated doesn't cause harm to others

I believe that being unvaccinated in fact does not cause harm to others. Infecting other people is the thing that can cause harm.

There is a difference. People who aren't vaccinated and have never recovered from the disease and are not taking other steps to prevent spread? Sure, those people may be more of a risk to you than your typical vaccinated person (though maybe not now that omicron is rampant).

But they are a subset of the unvaccinated, and as much as your favorite news corp or bureaucrat or blogger wants you to believe everyone who hasn't taken the covid vaccine is coming to eat your children, I'd ask you to question if that's really the case. I don't think it is.

Also, spending time in basically any ‘red’ state in the USA can get you the same result. We’ve been living life as usual, almost no restrictions, since at least April of 2021. It’s nice, and believe it or not, the sky is in fact not falling. It’s not as hard as ‘they’ would like you to believe, to be smart & stay safe, while also leading a normal life.

One of the unpleasant things about the recent pandemic surge has been the opportunistic article-writing to relitigate controversial issues like school closures, which had, with the previous numbers, become a thing of the past, with broad agreement across the political spectrum that they were no longer necessary. Look at the trajectory of today's numbers. The schools are not going to be closed for long. But to read these articles, you'd think educators are planning to keep kids at home for the rest of their lives, rather than until the massive, unprecedented surge subsides. (You'd also think that the US compulsory schooling system was a biologically essential part of human development rather than an early-1900s social invention).

"Living with COVID" doesn't mean "ignoring COVID", and I'd be interested to see viewpoints that are a bit less extreme and more open to the idea that living with a cyclic (and still-deadly) coronavirus requires seasonal adjustments to reality on the ground rather than unconditionally charging ahead with no precautions.

The two claims here ("it's an abstracted stack" and "DeFi engineers are collecting 6-7 figures") are fundamentally at odds: the latter can only be true if the economic (un?)reality of hype around PoW and PoS tokens can sufficiently goad investors/grifters/whoever into dumping money onto ideas that they would scoff at in a conventional setting.
It's rare to be able to completely eliminate a risk.

Both of the extremes in this kinda drive me batty. On one side, I know a family that was taking distance learning as a chance to travel the world with their kids, before any vaccine was available. They have caught covid 3 times now.

I also know people that have resolved to never get covid. Why? Because it's covid. Any attempts to discuss things in more detail brings out comparisons to things such as the bubonic plague, measles, and drinking water you shit in.

Forwarding your agent exposes your authentication secrets to the machines you're connecting to.
At a very simplified level, in these kinds of astrophysical contexts you can kind of think of magnetic field lines as strings, and the particles in the gas are forced to follow the strings. The stronger the field, the more closely the particles have to follow those strings. So if the magnetic field is large, they can have the effect of redirecting particles from where they otherwise would go due to gravitational collapse, and slow the process down.

I’m not sure the similarity is a benefit — the systems are divergent in some of the fundamentals. It might be better if they were less similar so that the differences were more visible.

There’s also libraries like GCD which GUI applications use and expect to work and have interesting interactions with pthreads. I’d guess it will be a while before they have simpler third-party apps working let alone something like Office. I see that they have the Coocotron examples working but Cocotron is the precise subset of the API that they’ve actually implemented so it’s not really indicative of the work in front of them.
I guess what they mean by nemesis is someone who is basically your peer, but sincerely trying to be much better than you. It works when they aren’t just your rival out to crush you, but someone much more “honourable” who wants to beat you the right way, maybe even share what they learn along the way. Rather than a nemesis, this is commonly known as a “great friend” and isn’t that much easier relationship to find than a mentor. In fact depending on the culture and industry, a mentor who isn’t all knowing but much more experienced and wiser than yourself is a more common occurrence.

I feel that people just bikeshed too much about these things when really all you need to do is be helpful where you can and don’t be an asshole.

At least you had an interviewer who could speak English and explained the problem. Mine had an interviewer who just typed the problem and his English was so bad that I couldn’t get answers to any follow up questions. He kept saying “ok…ok” as I was explaining the approach and once I finished coding up my approach he said that’s not what he is looking for. I kept asking clarifying questions till the end but never got the answer since his English was incomprehensible. I don’t understand how a person like this can function assuming they have to deal with English speaking team members.
Not the parent poster, but I stopped after first Pfizer dose due to chest pain that lasted for three weeks. My entire family and all my coworkers berated me to get the second dose. Not saying parents friends/family did that to them, but there is a subset of people that don’t believe you should opt out of the vaccine if you have adverse reactions.

Lesson learned in honestly answering “are you fully vaccinated”. I still get told I should do it 8 months later.
This POV is incongruous to me. How does one believe the federal government would benefit from additional lockdowns, when everyone is so tired of living under covid? If anything, officials who impose lockdowns only decrease their popularity, even in very Blue areas.

I think there’s a good argument that async is decent for performance critical languages, e.g C++ and Rust, and for languages looking to model effects, e.g Haskell and arguably Rust.
I don’t see a good reason for it in mainstream languages like Java, JavaScript and C#.

I think Java’s approach with Loom is going to be a big win over C# there, as someone that just wants to get stuff done and is a fan of both.
